Nuclear fissions in nuclear fuels generate heat and electricity.
The energy sources from highest to lowest percentage are as follows: Coal Nuclear Hydroelectric
Fabrication of nuclear fuels to generate electricity in nuclear power reactors.
Uranium and plutonium can be used as nuclear fuels for nuclear reactors.
Chemists, engineers, electronic specialists, physicists: to make nuclear fuels, nuclear weapons, radioisotopic source of heat or electricity etc.
Some reasons could be: * Availability of nuclear fuel * Availability of nuclear technology * Declining reserves of fossil fuels * Power generation Potential of nuclear fuels
We use nuclear power because it produces cheap electricity and they reduce the need to import fossil fuels.
They use about 78% nuclear, 15%hydro and 7% fossil fuels.
France is almost entirely Nuclear.
If you use nuclear energy in place of fossil fuels, you are conserving the fossil fuel, that is reducing the amount you use.
Japan uses nuclear power for energy instead of items such as coal and fossil fuels.
The only similarity is that they are both used to generate electricity through use of heat engines.
