How does decommissioning affect the overall cost of electricity generated using nuclear fuels?
Decommissioning can increase the cost of electricity generated using nuclear fuels, as it involves dismantling and cleaning up the retired nuclear plant, managing radioactive waste, and restoring the site. These decommissioning costs are significant and must be factored into the overall cost of nuclear energy generation. Proper planning and funds set aside for decommissioning can help mitigate the impact on electricity costs.
What makes up the energy released in a nuclear detonation?
nuclear binding energy
What is the atomic energy commission?
The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) was set up in 1946, to regulate the development and use of nuclear power, which at that time was not yet developed into peaceful uses. This came later, but it was found the AEC was not really suitable for regulating a new industry. In 1975 a new body, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) was set up to regulate the nuclear industry, and the AEC ceased. There is a Wikipedia entry for more details.
What makes up nuclear energy?
radioactivity.
How would you solve Japan's nuclear power or energy problem that has arisen after the earthquake and tsunami?
Get some massive wireless energy transfer devise and set one up on the moon and one in japan. Transfer power from a massive nuclear power plant on the moon to Japan and hook everyone up to it.
Should nuclear energy be used in Australia?
The decision to use nuclear energy in Australia is complex and involves weighing the benefits of low carbon emissions against concerns about safety, waste disposal, and cost. It is ultimately up to Australian policymakers and citizens to decide if nuclear energy should be included in the country's energy mix.
Does water have nuclear energy?
Yes, but more specifically, the atoms that make up the water molecule have nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is what hold the atoms together. It holds the nuetrons and protons together within the nucleus of the atom. So anything that has nuetrons and protons has nuclear energy.
How do you convert nuclear energy to potential energy?
You could for instance convert the nuclear energy to mechanical or electrical energy and use it to pump water up into a high reservoir, where it will have potential energy.
Which is NOT a factor in why nuclear energy has failed to live up to the initial hopes that it would solve nations' energy needs?
The nuclear energy has failed to live up to the initial hopes of helping a nationâ??s energy needs because of the misuse of technology to create chemical weapons. Lack of modern technology is not a reason for the failure.
How does nuclear power do?
Nuclear power works by splitting open nuclear atoms. The energy escapes and opens up more nuclear atoms. The scientists use this energy to power homes and appliances.
What energy is needed to break up a nucleus of an atom?
The energy needed to break up a nucleus of an atom is called binding energy. It is the energy required to overcome the strong nuclear force that holds the nucleus together. The higher the binding energy per nucleon, the more stable the nucleus is.
Is atomic energy and nuclear energy the same?
Yes, atomic energy was the term used up to the 50's, then nuclear energy became the normal term, it is more correct.
