What else can I help you with?
What is the only thing that a nuclear reactor can do?
Produce heat (energy) from nuclear fission.
How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
What do all nuclear fission reactions produce?
All the nuclear fissions produce smaller elements from the larger element and few neutrons so that the fission reaction is continuously carried out.
Is nuclear fusion more cheaper and easier to produce then nuclear fission?
No. Just the opposite.
What are the two processes that produce nuclear energy?
fission and fusion
What process do nuclear power plants use produce energy?
All current nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce energy. For more information on fission and power plants, see the related links.
The two processes which produce nuclear changes are?
The two processes that produce nuclear changes are nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion involves combining two atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, while nuclear fission involves splitting a heavy nucleus into smaller ones. Both processes release a large amount of energy.
What happens in a nuclear reactor to create electricity?
In a nuclear reactor, the controlled splitting of atoms (nuclear fission) generates heat, which is used to produce steam from water. The steam then drives turbines that are connected to generators, producing electricity. The process essentially harnesses the heat energy released during nuclear fission to produce electricity.
Which nuclear reaction is used on earth to produce electricity?
Nuclear fission is the nuclear reaction used on Earth to produce electricity in nuclear power plants. In this process, uranium or plutonium atoms are split, releasing a large amount of energy that is harnessed to generate electricity.
does nuclear fission produce energy?
A controlled nuclear chain reaction produces heat, driving steam turbines to produce energy.
What nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
Which contains a heavy atom often used in nuclear fission reactions to produce thermal eanergy?
Uranium-235 is a heavy atom commonly used in nuclear fission reactions to produce thermal energy.
