What element is useful as a nuclear-powered battery?
plutonium-238 (note the different isotope)
Does the sun have oxygen to support combustion?
No. The sun is about 1% oxygen but it does not carry out combustion. It is instead powered by nuclear fusion.
What is coal ash slurry?
I assume that by the name that would be the leftover ash from a coal fire (such as from a coal powered electric generating plant) mixed with water to form a slurry.
What happens if the sun runs out of oxygen?
It would be of little to no consequence. The "burning" of the sun is not really fire; it does not use oxygen. The sun is instead powered by nuclear fusion, which turns hydrogen into helium.
What do sodium potassium pumps pump?
The sodium-potassium pump (PDB entries 2zxe and 3b8e ) is found in our cellular membranes, where it is in charge of generating a gradient of ions. It continually pumps sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell, powered by ATP.
What is a highly reactive mineral that is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants?
Uranium is a highly reactive mineral that is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants
What is powered by a nuclear reactor?
A steam turbine/generating unit, or a naval vessel
Is nuclear energy available in Illinois?
According to the nuclear regulatory commission (NRC) there are at least 11 nuclear powered electrical generating plants. There are 4 facilities which have been shut down and are being decommissioned.
Name two advantages of generating electricity using nuclear power?
1. Increased electrical generating capacity provides for more complex weapons, environmental, navigation and control systems. 2. A little known fact is that all nuclear powered vessels can redirect their electrical generating capacity to power cities or towns that have lost their electrical power during a disaster.
Why are you a nuclear powered human being?
"Why are you a nuclear powered human being?"
What was the first nuclear powered vessel?
The first nuclear powered submarine was the USS Nautilus.
What are stars powered by?
Stars are powered by nuclear fusion
The color of a mineral in powered form is called the mineral's?
Streak
Is the sun nuclear powered?
Yes, nuclear fusion
Are stars nuclear powered?
yea by nuclear fusion
How common are coal powered plants?
Coal powered electricity generating plants are quite common. Here in the provice of Ontario (where I live and type) I know that approximately one third of the electricity in the provice is generated by coal power (the other thirds being nuclear and hydroelectric).
Do stars combust?
Stars are not powered by combustion; they are powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process.
