nuclear energy is fairly cheap for many reasons. Mainly, the life time of a nuclear power plants is 60 years and that the nuclear fuel contribution to the cost of generated kilowatt.hour is very low.
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
It does not pollute and is a very cost-effective energy source.
It isn't really "cheap" - not if you consider the cost of safely handling the radioactive waste, which can be quite problematic. If you dump the waste into the environment, then it might be considered cheap - but you are essentially leaving the problem to others.
Only if you don't consider the cost to the future.
Because they have plenty of cheap coal, and prefer to use that.
Because they have plenty of cheap coal, and prefer to use that.
It supplies thermal energy which can then be used by fairly conventional power producing equipment
Nuclear power Gives almost infinite electricity. like the sun, it has nuclear fusion, and nuclear fusion is infinite power. we are not that far with technology. so we have nuclear separation. now i don't know if that's the correct English term, but separation too gives allot of cheap electricity. The advantage Of nuclear power is allot of cheap Energy.
There has been a fair amount of it about, it's fairly cheap and straightforward to extract and it gives off a lot of energy.
Nuclear energy releases no greenhouse gasses and in comparison with solar energy, it's way cheaper. It also produces cheap electricity, France has the cheapest electricity in Europe and the get almost 80% of their electricity from nuclear power plants. It's also highly sustainable, contrary to what many think. Bernard Cohen proved that we can last billions of years on nuclear energy!
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
A cleaner environment and lower fuel costs make the ethical concerns fairly easy to deal with.
The energy released is nuclear energy.
