What is a good title for your paper on nuclear energy?
I chose 'Nuclear Powers Secondary Loop' because of nuclear energy up and comming behavior, and that in nuclear power a Secondary Loop absorbs heat and generates the electricity.
What uses nuclear energy?
Fission is a nuclear reaction where the nucleus of one atom splits into two smaller nucleus creating different elements with smaller atomic number and sometimes releasing free protons and neutrons. The process of Nuclear Fission creates a lot of energy using minimal material, hence it is a good source of electricity. Also, one of the most known yet dangerous use is the creation of nuclear bombs.
Is radiation good for nuclear energy?
Radiation is a consequence of nuclear energy. In fact, without the radiation of a large neutron flux, nuclear energy would not exist.
Is electricity considered an energy resource?
Sometimes, but electricity isn't an energy SOURCE; it's an energy CONDUIT. Electricity is how we get energy from one place to another, and how we use it when it gets there. Electricity doesn't stand still; at least, not naturally. We generate electricity with generators that use some other power source to spin a turbine; a jet engine, for example, or falling water, or steam. The electricity goes through a wire to where we use it by converting it into some other form; light, or heat, or music, or radio transmissions. We can store electricity in a battery, but that's a very inefficient process so far. And the electricity doesn't really do us any good until we convert it into something else.
Should nuclear energy be banned?
Actually it is good and bad. Nuclear energy can save many people lives but in can be used as nuclear weapons which are super dangerous. resulting in explosions.
Is the energy from a nuclear reactor a good choice for a city?
totally
How is nuclear energy good for communities?
If these communities have not oil, methane, coal, hydroelectric power the nuclear energy is very important to produce electricity or heat.

Is nuclear energy good for humans and the environment?
Nuclear energy provides electricity which is good for humans, and for the environment it does not produce greenhouse gases, so that is good. However it has dangers too, so must be well controlled
Good way to use nuclear fission?
In nuclear reactors, to produce electricity
Is energy from a nuclear reactor a good choice for a city?
Yes it is a good choice because it porvides energy however the city may be subject to more terrorist attacks. Don't forget the pros and cons for question 5 though.
How could nuclear energy be bad?
Just like any other energy can be bad - fire can burn, electricity can shock... Nuclear energy can have harmful radiations that can damage without proper precautions. In addition, there are no very satisfying alternatives at present for disposing of nuclear waste, so proceeding with heavy nuclear energy development is a bet that the future will find good solutions.

Can we store nuclear energy in small packs?
Nuclear energy comes already stored in small packs called atoms. But as for out modest ability to access and harness it for good, we as humans are still a long way from a "small pack" of nuclear energy that might be used to generate electricity, warm food, or light a living space. Anyone who envisions a lunchbox sized nuclear energy source is thinking beyond our technical ability. About the best we can do is build a small nuclear reactor about the size of a shipping container to generate energy via fission.
How is nuclear energy is useful?
NUCLEAR DEBATE 1)Proponents of nuclear energy assert that nuclear power is a compact, reliable sustainable energy source that reduces carbon emissions and increases energy security. Proponents highlight that nuclear energy's operational safety record is already very good when compared to other major power plant technologies. They claim that the risks of waste and other environmental impacts are small compared to other sources of electricity and can be further reduced by improved technology in new reactors. 2)Mainly to produce electricity. Also to produce radio-isotopes for medical and industrial use 3)The two "basic types" of nuclear energy are based on fission and fussion. Fission is basically atom splitting. Fusion is the forcing together of nuclei and causing them to fuse, to stick together, and to form a new nucleus. In both nuclear reactions, a lot of heat is generated. The reactions can be set up to occur "really fast" and release energy all at one. This the idea behind the nuclear weapons. There is another idea. Because the primary useful energy released in nuclear reactions is heat, that heat can be captured to do useful work. At present, we can't do any "controlled fusion" and capture heat to generate electric power. But we can use fission to our advantage to make heat to boil water to generate steam to turn a turbine to turn a generator and make electricity. And we do this pretty well.
What is one good use of a nuclear reactor?
Process heat and electricity generation.
