Nuclear energy is not gathered or created. There is a saying to go along with this: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form. That saying is called the Law of the Conservation of Energy. Nuclear is a type of potential energy so this concept applies to it. There are many ways nuclear energy can be used. Lets say submarines. Most people have heard of the nuclear powered submarines. They can stay under water for a long time because they have basically unlimited energy. The submarines are powered by a nuclear reactor causing a series of nuclear reactions. The submarine uses the nuclear reactions as power. Generally it will get converted to mechanical or electrical energy (both types of Kinetic energy).

How is nuclear energy put into a bomb?

Let's say somebody makes an atomic bomb using U-235. The nuclear energy was in the U-235 all the time (since it was created in a supernova). The people making the bomb simply gather (and enrich!) the uranium.


What is energy created from processing uranium and creating nuclear fission?

Energy created from processing uranium and creating nuclear fission is known as nuclear energy. This process involves splitting uranium atoms in a controlled chain reaction to release a large amount of heat, which is then used to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.


Is Nuclear Energy Created?

The law that people go by is: Energy can not be destroyed or created by nature.Nuclear energy is man made though, with our nuclear power plants. So this contains the correct information for Nuclear Energy. This happens because of the splitting/smashing of atoms, creating a powerful enough energy to power homes and other appliances.
