What has nuclear energy done for the environment?
Nuclear power does not produce emissions like CO2 and sulphur dioxide that are produced when fossil fuels are burned.
Types of things that use nuclear energy?
Anything that uses electricity may use nuclear energy
What are the things that use nuclear energy?
In countries with nuclear plants, like the US, all the generated electricity goes into the grid distribution network, so you can't separate the nuclear part out. Thus any electrical appliance will be using some nuclear, except in some small isolated areas perhaps which are not connected to the national networks.
What energy source does not add CO2 to the atmosphere?
CO2 (carbon dioxide) is produced when things are burned - for example wood, petroleum (and petroleum products such as gasoline), and coal. Most energy sources that don't rely on burning won't produce carbon dioxide. This includes nuclear energy (although nuclear energy does have other environmental problems), wave energy, geothermal energy, solar energy, and wind energy.
What is a energy created by the sun?
In a Word; Radiant. This radiant energy is produced by Nuclear Fusion. Solar Energy does many things.
What is nucler power?
The phrase nuclear power means one or both of two things. It can be a type of electricity that is generated by nuclear energy or it can be a nation that possesses nuclear weapons.

Can nuclear power actually power anything?
Yes, nuclear power can directly power things. But we usually use the thermal energy generated by nuclear reactions to "power" things. We collect the heat, boil water to make steam, and spin turbines (with an attached generator) to make electricity. A radioactive source generated heat to drive a thermoelectric generator to power up a "deep" space probe. (The probe will be far from the sun and solar panels won't be sufficient to power things up.) We've seen applications where the old Soviet Union used a "nuclear pump" (a nuclear bomb) to power a beam weapon. And designers have come up with nuclear engines for space ships. Both of these directly use the energy of nuclear power to "power" something. But we don't normally encounter direct use of nuclear energy to do work.
Is nuclear energy good for the environment?
No, nuclear energy is not good for the environment because after they get the energy there is nuclear waste which is radioactive and is NOT good for the environment.It can be if well controlled, as no carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases are produced. However if things go wrong as in Japan now (March 2011) then it is definitely not good for the environment or the people who live in it.

Is fossil fuel nuclear energy?
No because fossil fuel is its own energy from decayed things just like nuclear has its own.

What are some good things about nuclear reactors?
They provide energy.
Only the positive things about nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is a very clean source of electricity. There are no pollutants put into the air, and it is very efficient.

In a Word; Radiant. This radiant energy is produced by Nuclear Fusion. Solar Energy does many things.
