Nuclear energy is a type of potential energy, which depends on the forces between the nucleons (protons and neutrons). In other words, the energy is stored in the relationship between the particles.

Is nuclear power a fossil fuel?
Nuclear power is NOT a fossil fuel.
Are nuclear spent fuel rods dumped in the ocean?
No, they are stored in pools of water.
How many less tons of greenhouse gases are emitted from nuclear power plants?
Nuclear power plants emit no greenhouse gases at all.
Should Earthquake prone countries be allowed Nuclear Power Stations?
Earthquake prone countries should not be able to have nuclear power plants because what if an earth quake happens .The nuclear power plant could explode . And that would be very bad :[
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
Where are nuclear waste from nuclear power plants currently stored?
In the US they're stored on site.
Is nuclear waste stored at a nuclear power plant?
Yes.
Is waste of nuclear power stored in the power plant?
jre
How is nuclear power stored for later use?
your mommy
Which is a major drawback to the use of nuclear power?
Nuclear power creates toxic waste that must be stored forever
How is energy stored in nuclear power?
Energy produced by nuclear power cannot be stored, it has to be used as soon as it is produced. This is done by producing steam from the thermal energy released and using this in a conventional power plant
How is nuclear power stored in source and then released?
When someone poops the consentrated liquid from it can kill a man.
How is nuclear energy stored once it has been recovered?
Nuclear energy is not directly stored in the traditional sense. Instead, it is converted into electricity and then stored in the electrical grid for distribution to consumers. In some cases, excess electricity generated by nuclear power plants can be stored using other energy storage systems like batteries or pumped hydro storage.
What is energy stored for use at a later time?
In current nuclear power plants, nuclear energy is released when U235 undergoes fission. This energy is not stored, it is used as soon as it is released, to produce electricity.
Does Nuclear fission as used in nuclear power plants produces radioactive waste with long half lives?
yes, Nuclear fission as used in nuclear power plants produces radioactive waste with long half lives. However, this creates no problems. This wastes are either confined in the spent nuclear fuel (that is stored either in wet storage or in dry storage facilities) or stored as vitrified nuclear waste.
How is waste created by nuclear power plants in the us stored?
they store it until it becomes less radioactive
The energy in uranium is used to make electricity in a nuclear power plant. How is the energy stored in uranium?
in the nucleus
