The stars are powered by nuclear fusion, so this is widespread. Nuclear fission is more unusual and probably only occurs in certain planets where there is a lot of uranium.

How does nuclear energy can be produced?

Nuclear energy is produced through a process called nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts. This process releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat, which is then used to generate electricity. The most common fuel used for nuclear energy production is uranium.

What is your position on the use of nuclear energy?

I feel nucelar energy is extremely revolutionary and reliable. However, it can be unsafe from pollution and meltdowns can cause cancer and death. I feel that if nuclear power stations became much safer, they would be used worldwide and would rid the world of the current energy crisis. While not disagreeing with most of what Henry has said, I would add that proliferation of nuclear weapons is also a concern with the current nuclear energy technology. And if policies against reprocessing of spent fuel are not changed, then the existing proven reserves of uranium will not serve to provide the needed energy very far into the future.


Why is a star said to be dead when it is a white dwarf?

after the star implodes an explodes it becomes a white dwarf or a black hole Because it has used up all of it's fuel and has nothing left to convert into energy (unless it can accrete additional fuel from a companion star).

How do you think plants get energy?

Plants get their energy from the sun, and convert said solar energy into chemical energy to fuel themselves, via photosynthesis.


Do you currently use combustion to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?

No. The heat from the reactor is used to boil water. The steam from said water is used to turn turbines which produces electricity. No, there is no combustion in a nuclear reactor. Nuclear energy does not need combustion to start it, there is no chemical process involved. It works simply by a neutron chain reaction.
