Do fossil fuels have a higher or lower energy content than a similar mass of nuclear fuel?

Total energy as expressed in Einsteins equation E=mc2 reveals that they are identical because the masses are identical and c is a constant. With present technology you can extract more energy from a given mass of nuclear fuels (in a nuclear reactor) than the same mass of fossil fuel in a thermoelectric generating plant.


Does fossil fuels get its energy from nuclear fusion?

no


Is it true that coal and natural gas are the main fossil fuels used in nuclear power stations?

Fossil fuels are not used in nuclear power stations. Nuclear fuel is used (uranium)


How are nuclear energy and fossil fuels different?

magnitude


How does nuclear energy conserve fossil fuels?

Nuclear energy does not rely on burning fossil fuels to generate electricity, which helps reduce the consumption of these limited resources. By using nuclear power as a clean alternative, we can preserve fossil fuels for other important uses such as transportation and heating.


How does nuclear energy differ from fossil fuels?

With fossil fuels we burn them to produce heat. With nuclear fuel we produce a nuclear chain reaction in a reactor which produces heat. Using the heat to produce electricity is the same for both types of fuel.


Is bio fuels wind nuclear or fossil fuels least damaging to the environment?

Wind.


Will fossil fuels never run out?

fossil fuels will run out in: 50 years for oil 250 for nuclear and coal will run out in 80 years...


Fossil fuels form from nuclear chain reactions?

Fossil fuels do not form from nuclear chain reactions. Fossil fuels are formed from the decay of organic matter over millions of years in the Earth's crust. Nuclear chain reactions refer to the process of nuclear fission in which atomic nuclei split, releasing energy.


Which fossil fuels are used to generate electricity in France?
