What else can I help you with?
Are there any technical advances need to take place before nuclear energy can be usable?
Nuclear energy is already very usable - 104 reactors in the US alone.
How are slpitting atoms usable?
This is called nuclear fission and it is what powers nuclear reactors and of course the wonderfully horrendous atomic bomb...
What year was nuclear power invented?
1933, but it was not until after WW2 ended that work was begun on designing usable power reactors.
How are nuclear reactors different from breeder reactors?
Most nuclear reactors, in general, are designed and built to produce usable energy. The energy helps supply public demand for electricity, or provide propulsion for a combat vessel at sea, especially submarines. Some nuclear reactors are built for research only, to learn more about nuclear power and about better ways to utilize it. Nuclear reactors do not emit atmospheric contaminants like other energy-making processes do. They are not like combustion engines, and require no oxygen to burn for their function. Breeder reactors are a different story indeed. They do produce usable energy, but in too many cases their design purpose is to "breed" more fissionable material during the reaction process.
What process do nuclear reactors use?
Nuclear reactors use nuclear fission.
How are nuclear reactors used in nuclear reactors?
Nuclear reactors use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate heat, which is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. The heat is produced in the reactor core where nuclear fuel rods containing uranium or plutonium undergo fission reactions. The reactor's cooling system helps regulate the temperature and prevent overheating.
What nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
Why is plutonium found in nuclear reactors?
Plutonium is a by product of nuclear reactions of uranium in a nuclear reactor. An example of reaction is: 23892U + n-------23992U-------23993Np + e--------23994Pu + e
How many nuclear reactors are in the world?
There are over 400 nuclear reactors around the world.
What is the bad things about the nuclear power reactors?
there are no bad things about the nuclear power reactors
How many nuclear reactors does France have?
France has 56 nuclear reactors in operation. This makes France one of the countries with the highest reliance on nuclear energy in the world.
Can you get power from the radioactive element Xenon?
xenon is usually a waste product of nuclear reactors and although has power not that much
