I don't understand what you mean. The US alone has over 100 nuclear reactors with more now on order

What quantities do not change during a nuclear reaction?
If you consider the equation, E=mc2, you can see that an amount of mass can be considered as equal to an amount of energy. In other words, we could take all the mass in a nuclear reaction and figure out how much energy that represents. If you add that to the amount of energy present at the same time, you get a summation of energy (some of which is mass represented as energy). That amount of energy does not change in a nuclear reaction.
What energy resources can produce the most amount of energy from the smallest amount of fuel?
Nuclear reactions.
Why is Nuclear Energy Every where?
Nuclear energy comes from the binding energy released when we change the state of atoms. Binding energy holds the universe together and it is present in every atom.
The amount of energy produced during nuclear fission is related to?
It is related to the specific nuclear reactor design including the nuclear fuel amount and the reactor control system and the energy extracting medium (coolant) capacity.
The amount of energy produced during nuclear fission is related to what?
It is related to the specific nuclear reactor design including the nuclear fuel amount and the reactor control system and the energy extracting medium (coolant) capacity.
How is geothermal energy harvested?
Geothermal energy is harvested by drilling holes into bedrock that has sufficient nuclear decay to be warm, filling pipes (or the hole directly) with a liquid that is pumped back to the surface and where a heat exchanger transfers the heat to another medium (liquid).
Is a battery nuclear chemical or mechanical energy?
A battery is chemical energy creating electrical energy. Nuclear is cause by nuclear material either decaying or undergoing fusion, only present in nuclear material. Mechanical energy is a physical force cause by the transfer of kinetic energy.
Name a nuclear process in which a huge amount of energy is released and which can be used to generate electrical energy in power stations?
Nuclear fission
What is the estimated amount of nuclear energy in a telephone book?
Nuclear energy can only be obtained by fission or fusion and paper won't do either.
What is the renewable energy source of nuclear?
Nuclear energy is not renewable. There is a fixed amount of potential fuel on the earth. Once it is used, there will be no more.
Explain how to improve the amount of nuclear energy with illustration?
Build more nuclear power plants!
Is a battery chemical mechanical or nuclear?
A battery is chemical energy creating electrical energy. Nuclear is cause by nuclear material either decaying or undergoing fusion, only present in nuclear material. Mechanical energy is a physical force cause by the transfer of kinetic energy.
