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.

If something is nuclear power does it run out of energy?

No, nuclear power does not run out of energy like fossil fuels do. Nuclear power plants generate electricity by using uranium or thorium as fuel, which undergoes a process called nuclear fission to produce energy. As long as there is fuel available and the plant is properly maintained, nuclear power can continue to generate electricity indefinitely.


Is nuclear energy renewable or non renewable?

Nuclear energy is classified as a nonrenewable energy source. This is because the nuclear fuel used in power plants (such as uranium or plutonium) is a finite resource that can eventually run out.


Can the sun ever run out of energy?

YES


Do any power plant today run run on nuclear fusion why or why not?

No, because the highest amount of energy needed in a nuclear fusion is 40,000,000 K, which is only known to occur on the sun.


What was Niall Horan's x factor number?

Nuclear energy is non renewable energy because it would eventually run out.


Why is a power plant an example of nuclear energy?

A power plant is an example of nuclear energy because it generates electricity through nuclear reactions, usually fission. The energy released from these reactions is harnessed to produce heat, which then drives turbines to generate electricity.


WHAT DOES RENEWABLE AND NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES MEAN?

Non renewable energy is energy that you will soon run out on. For exemple Nuclear energy. Renewable energy is energy that you can kept on using and it will never run out! For example Solar energy, Biomass and Wind turbines. These are only a few!


Could nuclear fission ever become renewable?

No, fission is still a fuel in - waste out reaction. Eventually the supply of nuclear fuel would run out.


Can nuclear energy be found over and over or will it run out sometime?

There is so much uranium in the Earth's crust and mantle that it is unlikely that we will run out.


What normal household objects use nuclear force to run?

No normal household objects use nuclear force to run. Nuclear force is typically only used in nuclear power plants or atomic bombs where atomic nuclei are split or combined to release energy.


Will the sun ever run out of energy and or explode?

The sun will eventually run out hydrogen at its core, which is the source of energy, so it will die, but it will not explode.


What businesses use nuclear energy?

Nuclear fission refers to the splitting of an atomic nucleus. It occurs naturally and can be induced in order to release energy. Nuclear fission provides the energy released by nuclear weapons as well as the energy used to produce energy at nuclear power plants.
