Name a nuclear process in which a huge amount of energy is released and which can also be used to generate electrical energy in power stations?
The processes of fission, fusion and fission-fusion-fishion all release energy. Currently, only fission reactors are used to produce electricity.
Does electrical energy pollute?
It depends on what fuel or power is used to generate the electricity .
What process releases the energy that is used in nuclear power plants to generate electrical energy?
It is nuclear fission
What fossil fuel is predominately used in the US to generate electricity?
Coal is still primarily used in the US to generate power (~47% of all electricity generated), however natural gas is being used increasingly to generate electricity (~20% of all electrical generation).
Name a nuclear process in which a huge amount of energy is released and which can be used to generate electrical energy in power stations?
Nuclear fission
Can crystals be used in power generation?
Piezoelectric crystals generate electrical energy when bent or squeezed, so yes, it's possible.
Should nuclear energy be used to generate power?
It can be used to generate power but it is very dangerous yet little nuclear energy can generate ALOT of power.
Can water be used to create energy?
Sure. You can harness the power of falling water to drive turbines and generate electricity. You can't, however, get power from cold fusion or burn water in your gas tank.
What are the uses of the generators?
To generate clocks and to generate power
Does inertial confinement involve fission?
The idea of inertial confinement is used in fusionexperiments in an attempt to generate energy from nuclear fusion. We don't see it associated with fission. In the fusion method of power generation, high power lasers force protons (hydrogen nuclei) together and add energy to the mix to initiate a fusion reaction.
Why should nuclear fusion be used in alternate power generation?
We do not yet have the ability to contain a controlled nuclear fusion reaction on the scale needed to generate power. Barring some stupendous advance in technology, we probably won't have the ability for 50 to 100 years. We are working on it, though.
Which form of energy results from the fission of uranium-235 nuclei that is used to generate electrical power?
Thermal energy is produced in the fuel by nuclear fissions.
