Asked in Science, Nuclear Energy
Can nuclear energy be used everywhere?
Yes. There are virtually no physical limitations to where
nuclear power can be used. Nuclear reactors have already been used
on land, air and sea... and submerged and in space. Not only we
humans use nuclear energy, but it is the primary source of energy
in natural processess in the world too. Life on earth depends on
the sun's energy, which in part is produced by nuclear fusion in
the heart of the star.

Asked in Nuclear Energy
Where is the source of nuclear energy found?
Nuclear energy is gained from atoms of any kind, thus the name
'Nuclear'. We generally only use heavy, radioactive atoms for
nuclear energy though, as they contain lots of energy and are
easier to split than others typically. The most common element used
in Nuclear Energy plants is Uranium, which is mined naturally in
many world locations.

What is a nuclear reactor used for?
Most nuclear reactors are built to produce electric power. A
single nuclear reactor can generate enough energy to power
1,200,000 homes around the clock. The vast minority of reactors
around the world are operated by power or energy companies that are
licensed by the government, or by the government itself.
Some smaller reactors are constructed for research, and for the
production of nuclear materials used in industry and medicine.
Plutonium can also be produced in reactors, and its application as
