Uranium is a radioactive substance. Nuclear power production is carried out by the energy supplied by nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors control the energy emission by nuclear fission reaction in radioactive substance when bombarded by neutrons.
Bcoz production of nuclear energy form harmful radioactive elements.
1. Production of electric power 2. production of very highly radioactive waste
Nuclear power accounts for 6.3% of world's total primary energy supply or 16% of world's total electricity production.
Nuclear power has no dangers. It is the opposite. Nuclear energy is a clean source for power production. It is even cleaner than solar energy. Power generation from nuclear energy is cheaper than that produced from solar, wind, gas, oil, and wind energy sources. Nuclear radiation from nuclear power plants is 100 times less than nuclear radiation from coal fired power plants. Nuclear weapons are of mass destruction nature due to emitted nuclear radiation, heat, and pressure air waves.
The only difference is that between energy and power which is a general observation, not limited to the nuclear field. The point is that power is the rate of energy flow, whether production or absorption (use). Thus energy is measured in Joules, and power is simply Joules per second, 1 watt = 1 Joule/sec
It is 28% nuclear power.
Nuclear power stations collect nuclear energy, and produce heat energy and electrical energy.
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
Uranium-235, or 235U, is so well suited for use in a nuclear power station for energy production because it is extremely fissile, which means that it can be easily split, releasing binding energy, along with the production of more neutrons which can continue the process with other 235U atoms.

No. Nuclear power uses nuclear energy instead of oil energy.
