What was not a potential problem of using more nuclear energy?
The plant could melt down.
If something is nuclear power does it run out of energy?
Nuclear fuel does eventually run out of energy, yes.
How does nuclear energy conserve fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy conserves the use of fossil fuel because if there is a nuclear power station there is no need to burn fossil fuel in that region.
What produces energy for a nuclear power plant?
The energy source for a nuclear power plant is the fissioning of nuclear fuel, which is normally uranium.
How and where is nuclear energy stored?
Nuclear energy appears as heat, and it is not practicable to store this heat, it has to be used to produce electricity. You could regard the new nuclear fuel as a store, the nuclear energy is there, just waiting to be released, and it would be practicable to stockpile fuel to be used if supplies of uranium were interrupted for some reason. I am not sure how much fuel is in fact stockpiled by the power companies that own power plants, but it would be possible for the federal government to pay to store more, if they wanted to.
Is nuclear energy and nuclear fuel different?
Nuclear fuel is the fuel used to produce nuclear energy.
What are examples of using uranium as an energy source?
Uranium is a nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
What kind of energy uses as a fuel?
Nuclear energy is produced using uranium as a fuel. The energy produced is in form of heat energy which is used to produce electrical energy.
What are the effects on using nuclear energy in the environment?
Not so much using nuclear energy as much as it is the spent fuel rods that are discarded after they are depleted. A nuclear reactor uses Uranium fuel rods that are discarded when they are no longer useful. the problem is they are highly radioactive, which is quite bad for the environment. The radioactive fuel rods (if not handled properly) can poison the surrounding area with radiation killing wildlife, and pollutiing streams and rivers and soil.
Is nuclear a fuel or a fossil fuel?
Nuclear energy is not a fossil fuel or any fuel at all. Radiation is used to create energy. The energy is "the Fuel" petroleum
What Problem with using fossil fuel for energy?
Animals life
Nuclear energy can be an answer to the problem caused by the use of fossil fuel?
It might, if we eventually manage to harness nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission is fraught with problems, especially the disposal of nuclear waste.
What is the type of energy in fuels?
That is called chemical energy - assuming conventional fuel. Nuclear fuel has nuclear energy.
What was not a potential problem of using more nuclear energy?
The plant could melt down.
How does nuclear energy damage people?
the radiation emitted from nuclear fuel will create problem for example cancer, some generation problem, it affect on vegetable, it affect on eye skin, etc.
Why is hydrogen a renewable fuel?
Hydrogen is not a renewable fuel. It is a secondary energy source (or an energy carrier) that could be produced using another primary energy source. Hydrogen could be produced using either renewable primary energy source (e.g. solar energy), nuclear energy, or by using fossil fuel (e.g. natural gas)
How is uranium used in a power plant?
Yes, they import it and put it in the reactor core where rods slow down the energy given off then it turns a generator which creates power
