Name the sources of nuclear energy
what is a better source nuclear or solar energy.
Nuclear fusion
It is the source of the sun's energy
Nuclear Energy.
1. Nuclear energy is the result of nuclear fission of fissile nuclei as uranium-235, uranium-233, plutonium-239, etc. 2. Industrial nuclear energy has as source nuclear reactors.
Plutonium applications: - fuel for nuclear reactors - explosive for nuclear weapons - neutron source - isotopic power source - isotopic heat source - in the past, power source for pacemakers
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
Uranium 235
Uranium
Uranium (or plutonium) is a source of energy (nuclear fuel) in nuclear power plants.
- energy source - radiation source - tracer - fuel for nuclear reactors - explosive for nuclear bombs
In most nuclear plants this is uranium-235
