The nuclear energy obtained from uranium or plutonium is the most important alternative to fossil fuels. Oil and methane will be exhausted in less than 100 years. Wind, geothermal, solar, organic wastes etc. are useful but not serious alternative for 10 billions inhabitants.

Will nuclear energy ever run out?
Nuclear fission may do, though with fast breeder reactors we could make use of the large amount of Uranium 238 which is not useful at present, as we only use the U235 in the present type of reactors. In the long term (probably 100 years or so) nuclear fusion may be usable, and this really would extend nuclear power for thousands of years.
How is nuclear energy distributed?
uranium is nuclear energy's source it is mined in areas like Canada, Brazil, Australia and etc that's all I know hoped it helped :)
How do you use nuclear energy in a sentence?
Nuclear energy is obtained by the fissioning of nuclei of uranium235, in a controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, which produces heat that can be converted to electricity by normal power plant methods.
What makes uranium-235 so suited for use in nuclear power stations for energy production?
Uranium-235, or 235U, is so well suited for use in a nuclear power station for energy production because it is extremely fissile, which means that it can be easily split, releasing binding energy, along with the production of more neutrons which can continue the process with other 235U atoms.
Is uranium easy to access?
The international trade of uranium is strictly controlled by IAEA and other organizations.
Is it true or false that uranium nuclei split during nuclear fission?
It is true that a uranium nucleus splits in the nuclear fission of uranium.
None of the products of nuclear fission of uranium are radioactive?
The answer is FALSE. Products of Nuclear fission of Uranium are highly radioactive.
What can uranium change to?
Uranium may suffer nuclear reactions, nuclear fission, nuclear decay.
Why uranium is used in nuclear energy?
The isotope uranium-235 (or uranium-233) under nuclear fission emit the energy of fission. This energy is transformed in heat and electricity.
When uranium atoms split what is it called?
This phenomenon is called nuclear fission.Nuclear fission of uranium-235 release a huge energy.
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive but is not uranium?
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
What type of fuel is uranium?
Uranium is nuclear fuel not renewable.The source of energy is the nuclear fission.
Is same product formed in fission of uranium 235?
After the nuclear fission of uranium-235 many fission products (other elements) are formed.
What is the transformation of uranium?
- radioactive decay - nuclear fission - nuclear reactions
Do uranium nuclei split during nuclear fission?
if the fission was of uranium, then yes. but many transuranic elements (e.g. plutonium, americium) also fission.
How is uranium turned into electricity?
with the help of nuclear fission.
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive?
Uranium
