Solutions? The most effective way to use nuclear power yet found is the PWR, with BWR a close second. These work well, but more advanced solutions will be developed in the future, like fast breeder reactors and fusion.

What is bad about nuclear energy?

Mainly that no good solution has been found to dispose of the nuclear wastes.


What are Disadvantages of nuclear energy as energy resources?

The waste of nuclear plants are bars that have to be contained within a specific area (somewhere in Nevada for the United States) to decay slowly for thousands of years, releasing a lot of radiation in that time span.


What is an example of the energy found in nuclear fission?

Nuclear fission happens when the strong nuclear force of an atom has been overcome. It releases a lot of heat, and this is typically used to boil water, to drive turbines, which turn the heat energy into mechanical energy, and this is used to power generators to make electricity.


Is nuclear generation safe for both adults and children?

Nuclear generation has been found that it is as safe as other types of energy. There haven't been any bad reports about it and we should trust in the safety until they can prove that it is unsafe.


Is nuclear energy the clenest form of energy?

Not quite. The problem of getting rid of the nuclear waste has not been satisfactorily solved.


Where and when has nuclear energy been used?

Nuclear weapon, nuclear (atomic) power stations. Also the Sun works on nuclear reactions.


Should the UK go nuclear?

The UK has been nuclear for a very long time. It has lots of nuclear energy stations and lots of nuclear weapons.


What are the Application of nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion has been used for nuclear transformation, which is the production of new materials by fusion, and for the type of specific type of transformation called nuclear synthesis, which is the production of materials not normally found in nature. It has been used in nuclear bombs, specifically fusion bombs or hydrogen bombs. There is hope that nuclear fusion can be used to provide power for generation of electricity, though this has not yet been achieved in a practical system. There is a link below to an article on nuclear fusion.


Where has Nuclear Energy been used with great success?

In France for example.

Has plutonium been used since it has been found?

Applications of plutonium: * explosive in nuclear weapons * nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors * the isotope 238Pu is used as energy source in spacecrafts or other applications (radioisotope thermoelectric generators); the chemical form is plutonium dioxide. * radioisotopic heating sources * neutron generator, as Pu-Be source


Has nuclear energy been used succssfully in the past?

Only since 1956
