Energy is released in nuclear fission and fusion, this is a fact of the physics of the nucleus. This energy can be captured and harnessed as thermal energy (heat)
No, fire is chemical energy not nuclear
Nuclear waste. Consumable Energy. Heat.
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.
There are quite a few limiting factors for using nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is very expensive to produce for example.
No, nuclear energy is only used to make electricity
Nuclear energy is a form of potential energy.
Nuclear fission releases energy in the form of heat, which can be converted into electricity.
Nuclear energy is a form unto itself. But please see the related question linked below.
Yes.
Nuclear energy is a form of potential energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom. When atoms are split in a process called nuclear fission, a large amount of energy is released, which can be harnessed to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.
No, it has chemical energy
Electrical energy, in the triggering and fuzing mechanisms. Chemical energy, in the form of conventional explosives used to trigger the chain reaction. Nuclear energy, in the form of fissionable or fusable nuclear materials.
Yes, atoms splitting is a form of nuclear energy known as nuclear fission. In this process, the nucleus of an atom is split into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
Nuclear binding energy is released mostly as heat energy.
Nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy as used in power plants results from fission of uranium235 and plutonium239
Yes, uranium is a stored form of energy. It is a radioactive element that can undergo nuclear fission, releasing a significant amount of energy in the form of heat. This heat can be harnessed to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.
