Why does France have a large nuclear production?
To comply with the massive demands of the countries energy needs and to do so with no carbon dioxide emissions, France needed to build real and reliable power. Nuclear is the only valid power source that produces energy with no carbon Dioxide emissions or changes to their landscape.
Do cars have nuclear energy?
No, so far only some ships have nuclear energy.
How does France produce it's energy?
France relies largely on nuclear power plants to provide its electricity. It does not have significant uranium resources, meaning it must purchase its uranium from other countries. France, nevertheless, decided to take the jump to nuclear and now produces 70% of its electricity from nuclear reactors, using its 59 nuclear reactors. It also sells power to adjacent countries.
Is nuclear reactors and nuclear energy the same thing?
Nuclear energy is released when U-235 undergoes fission, and that takes place in nuclear reactors (or nuclear weapons). So a reactor is a thing constructed to produce nuclear energy.
How reliable is the nuclear as a form of energy?
Once the nuclear power plant has been built and put into service, nuclear power is very reliable, it is only dependent on how reliable the plant's equipment is, things like pumps, instruments, turbines, and so on. The reactor itself hardly ever fails.
How nuclear energy works?
It starts with the nuclear air that comes from our bodies and so on so fourth
Why does France use so much nuclear energy?
France does not have deposits of oil or natural gas, these have to be imported. There is some coal in the north but the fields are not very productive. There is some hydro but that is limited by geography, so they made a bold but successful decision to go for energy independence, in electricity, and it has paid off.
What is the plan to reduce energy costs?
The plan to reduce energy costs are to switch from fossil fuel to nuclear energy because nuclear energy can be recycled to help the earth so it doesn't pollute! Plus their is more nuclear energy than fossil fuel so therefore you pay less.
Usefulness of nuclear energy related to atomic energy?
Nuclear energy provides about 20 percent of US electricity, so it is useful. Atomic energy is the same thing, but is now an obsolete term, we use nuclear energy as the description now.
How do communities use nuclear energy?
Nuclear produced electricity just goes into the common grid distribution system, so no community relies on nuclear energy alone.
Which country currently uses the most nuclear energy?
There are only two countries comparable, the USA and France. France gets a higher proportion of nuclear to total generation, at about 75 percent, whilst the US is at about 20 percent. But the US economy is much bigger so the actual nuclear generation is greater in the US than in France. See link below for some facts and figures, and some useful diagrams.
Does water have nuclear energy?
Yes, but more specifically, the atoms that make up the water molecule have nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is what hold the atoms together. It holds the nuetrons and protons together within the nucleus of the atom. So anything that has nuetrons and protons has nuclear energy.
