Why will nuclear fission probably never be used for powering automobiles?

∙ 12y ago
Because of the need for shielding, a nuclear reactor has to be very heavy even if only a moderate power producer, so one could only be carried in a very large vehicle. Then there is the mechanical drive, if done by steam (and I don't know how else) this would mean further equipment. But apart from these problems, it would never be acceptable to have mobile nuclear reactors going up and down the freeways, because of the risk of accident and release of radioactivity.

What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
What is splitting of atomic nuclei?
FISSION. nobody on this website knows the answer..... SHAME
What is the process of the production of lighter nuclei from heavier nuclei called. Nuclear radiation nuclear force fusion or fission?
Nuclear fission
What are other information about nuclear fission?
nuclear fission is the process of splitting atoms.
What is it called when nuclear fission is repeated?
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.
Why nuclear fission better?
Nuclear fission is now commercially available in nuclear fission reactors since the fifties of last century. Nuclear Fusion is still under R&D. Nuclear fission reactors are clean energy source.
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs

What is the main difference between breeder nuclear fission and convention nuclear fission?
In breeder nuclear fission more fuel is produced than what consumed. In conventional nuclear fission less fuel is produced than what is consumed.
