Which of these accurately describes a difference between nuclear energy and fossil fuel?
Nuclear fuel has a higher energy density than fossil fuels.
Do power plants burn fossil fuels?
Some power plants do. Any plant that burns oil, coal, or gas from underground resources could be considered a "fossil fuel" plant. There are however nuclear, solar, hydro-electric and wind powered power plants.
Energy sources other than fossil fuel are called what kind of resources?
They are called renewables. (though strictly, nuclear power is not a fossil fuel and is not renewable).They are called alternative energy sources.
Solar energy fossil fuel water and nuclear?
What is the question?
Fossil fuels are running out. Solar and wind technologies are location specific and don't produce enough power to entirely replace fossil fuels. These are reasons to focus on which of the following?
nuclear power
How is uranium used as a fossil fuel?
Uranium is not a fossil fuel; uranium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
How does nuclear energy conserve fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy conserves the use of fossil fuel because if there is a nuclear power station there is no need to burn fossil fuel in that region.
What fossil will be saved by increased use of nuclear power?
Use of coal, a fossil fuel, would be lessened by increasing the use of nuclear power.
The largest non-fossil fuel source in the world?
nuclear power
After fossil fuel what power supplies the most electricity to the world?
nuclear !!!!!!!!!!
Is it true that coal and natural gas are the main fossil fuels used in nuclear power stations?
Fossil fuels are not used in nuclear power stations. Nuclear fuel is used (uranium)
What if nuclear fuel was used instead of fossil fuel?
There would be no carbon emissions. Nuclear power does not contribute to global warming.
Is coal a fossil fuel or a nuclear fuel?
Fossil
What can be used as a substitute for nuclear reactors?
No substitute for nuclear power reactors especially if there is no available fossil fuel.
Is oil a fossil fuel or a nuclear fuel?
Oil is a fossil fuel.
What are five sources of Eletrical?
Solar, Nuclear, Wind, Water, and Fossil Fuel power
How does a nuclear and fossil fuel station differ?
A nuclear station uses the energy from nuclear fission to generate power, but fossil fuel stations burn fossil fuels that release CO2 into the atmosphere, instead of the steam that nuclear plants produce. Therefore, nuclear power is more enviormental friendly, though it has some very radioactive waste products that can be harmful if not disposed properly.
