What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
What are the types of nuclear energy?
In nuclear fusion, energy is released when atoms are combined or fused together to form a larger atom. This is how the sun produces energy. In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce electricity.
Do nuclear reactions produce huge amounts of energy by transforming tiny amounts of matter?
Yes, it is actually annihilation of matter that produces the energy in nuclear fission, which is the reaction that powers power plants
Where is nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is generated in nuclear power plants, of which there are many.
How many energy plants are in Australia?
There are no nuclear energy plants in Australia.
Which nuclear process occurs within nuclear power plants and produces radioactive waste materials?
Nuclear Fission
How much nuclear energy does the UK use in a year?
As of 2011, the UK produces about 19% of its power (roughly 10 GW) via nuclear means. Using the above metric that nuclear plants produce about 10 GigaWatts, that means the total yearly energy production of the those plants is about 87,600 GigaWatt-hours, or 315.36 TeraJoules.
What are the examples of nuclear energy?
Nuclear bombs, nuclear power plants, the sun.
What produces energy from glucose?
Plants
Where is the nuclear energy used the most and why?
The USA uses the most nuclear energy. There is the highest number of Nuclear Power Plants in the world. The reason is simple: USA needs energy and the easiest way to get it is building nuclear power plants.
What energy do nuclear power plants create?
They use nuclear energy to produce power for the grid.
What places are using nuclear energy resources?
Nuclear power plants
