I feel nucelar energy is extremely revolutionary and reliable. However, it can be unsafe from pollution and meltdowns can cause cancer and death. I feel that if nuclear power stations became much safer, they would be used worldwide and would rid the world of the current energy crisis.
While not disagreeing with most of what Henry has said, I would add that proliferation of nuclear weapons is also a concern with the current nuclear energy technology. And if policies against reprocessing of spent fuel are not changed, then the existing proven reserves of uranium will not serve to provide the needed energy very far into the future.
Batteries use chemical energy to create voltage to drive current flow. They do not use nuclear energy.
All material uses nuclear energy.
Mechanical energy is energy generated through motion, while nuclear energy is generated through either fusion (the combining of atoms), or fission (the breakdown of atoms). stars generate fusion, and nuclear power plants, use uranium for fission.
All material uses nuclear energy.
The use of nuclear energy
we use nuclear because it helps save energy
Physical energy is energy due to motion (kinetic energy) and/or energy due to position or configuration (potential energy). Nuclear energy is due to the destruction of mass.
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
In nuclear fission reactors
If you use nuclear energy in place of fossil fuels, you are conserving the fossil fuel, that is reducing the amount you use.

The main use of nuclear energy is to produce electricity. Nuclear energy is also used in the field of medicine and military purposes.
