Best Answer

Nuclear fission generally produces a lot of energy. In a nuclear power plant, this energy is used to create steam to turn a turbine and generate electricity.

Why don't we use nuclear energy?

We use nuclear energy on a limited basis due to its instability. One reason we do not use it more is because the energy is not sustainable. There are two types of nuclear fission. Hot fission and cold fission. Hot fission is currently the only method we know how to utilize. Cold fission produces approximately 10 times the energy and produces fewer radiation spikes. We simply do not know how to initiate cold fission.


Which type of cell division occurs in binary fission?

A cell: All cells divide using Binary fission (except for sex cells which use meiosis) plant cells use binary fission (that is how they grow and repair) animal cell use binary fission (also how grow and repair themselves) bacteria use binary fission (this is how they reproduce, they evolve due to genetic mutations that some times occur during binary fission). The only things that don't use this are viruses which aren't cells and aren't even considered living.


How can nuclear fission be used?

In general, physicists, and specifically nuclear physicists, use nuclear fission in experiments.
