Why is nuclear energy used more widely in countries that have meager energy supplies?
bcz when nuclear rxn takes place energy is released in vast amount comparable to any other sources which can generate energy in any form
What energy do nuclear power plants convert nuclear energy to?
Nuclear power plants convert nuclear energy to electrical.sometimes it can be used to enrich radioactive nuclei which can later used in missile warheads. But using thorium as a source of nuclear power we can't enrich nuclei but we can use for electrical power generation which might have more energy than former
How are Nuclear energy transformed into usable energy?
Nuclear energy is used to produce steam. This steam used to rotate turbines
What is an example of converting Nuclear energy to electromagnetic energy in an energy transformation?
In a nuclear reactor, nuclear energy is converted to thermal energy. The thermal energy is used to heat water to make steam which can be used to spin turbines. The turbines spin electrical generators. A lot of electric power comes from nuclear power plants.
What other names are there for nuclear energy?
Nuclear power, atomic power used to be the term used but is now not used so much.
Is nuclear energy widely used as an energy source in the world?
It is widely used but not as much as hydrocarbons and hydroelectric. Japan has extensive nuclear facilities, Europe has many.

How widely is nuclear energy used?
There are 104 operating nuclear reactors in the US and at least 400 world wide.
What is keeping nuclear energy from being used?
Nothing, it is being widely used. 104 operating reactors in the US alone
Why nuclear energy to produce electricity is more advantageous than the used of energy from fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy is a clean energy and doesn't pollute the atmosphere
What is Uranium energy used for?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.
Is magnesium used for nuclear energy?
Magnesium is not used in the nuclear energy.
What is the renewable energy source of nuclear?
Nuclear energy is not renewable. There is a fixed amount of potential fuel on the earth. Once it is used, there will be no more.
Where is nuclear power widely used?
France
Is atomic energy and nuclear energy the same?
Yes, atomic energy was the term used up to the 50's, then nuclear energy became the normal term, it is more correct.
What are some ways in which nuclear energy maybe used more efficiently and economically in the Caribbean?
I don't see any reason to think nuclear energy could be used more efficiently there than elsewhere
How is nuclear energy used in science?
Nuclear energy is used in science in three general areas. We rely on nuclear technology in a number of areas of medicine. We also use nuclear energy to generate power. There are also research applications where nuclear physics is applied to learn and understand more about the subatomic world.
