The argument against nuclear energy is that radiation is very dangerous and we have already had a series of huge catastrophes caused by radiation leaks from nuclear power plants, particularly the Chernobyl accident and the Fukushima tsunami; there was also a less serious but still disturbing incident at Three Mile Island. It is difficult at this point to claim that nuclear power is perfectly safe and that there will be no more accidents, after there have been so many.
Still, every form of power generation has its advantages and disadvantages. I personally am not convinced that nuclear power shouldn't be used. But clearly, if we are going to use it, we have to be very careful about it.

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.
What is nuclear energy considered?
the energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, esp. when used to gnerate electricity.
What is the most common nuclear energy used?
That released by fission in a nuclear reactor
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.
Is nuclear energy and nuclear fuel different?
Nuclear fuel is the fuel used to produce nuclear energy.
How are Nuclear energy transformed into usable energy?
Nuclear energy is used to produce steam. This steam used to rotate turbines
How are nuclear energy used?
Saying nuclear energy is like saying Norwegian furniture. Nuclear power/energy is used everywhere, in 2009 20% of all electricity in the US was nuclear origin.
What nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
How does nuclear energy help with robots?
No, nuclear energy is only used to make electricity
Nuclear energy that is used to power nuclear powerplants?
Nuclear energy generated by nuclear fissions of nuclear fuels.
What are the relationships between electrical energy and nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is used to produce electrical energy, but there is no direct relationship
What can be used by nuclear energy?
Uranium is used to make energy by fission
Uses of nuclear energy in science?
nuclear energy is using the energy of science to be used as a weapon that has connections to science
What kind of atoms are in nuclear energy?
A fission of energy atoms generating nuclear energy that is used to produce electricity.
