It is useful because it does not produce carbon dioxide as it is not combusted to produce energy, also, it gives off huge amounts of energy from small quantities of uranium or plutonium. However, it takes a long time to power up or power down nuclear plants, making it quite inefficient.
What else can I help you with?
Can nuclear power plants produce material that could be converted?
Nuclear energy is released from the nucleus when U235 fissions, it appears initially as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, these are then stopped in the fuel material and turned to thermal energy. We can't use the nuclear energy directly.
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom is called?
Energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom is called Atomic Energy or nuclear energy.
What is released during nuclear reactions?
Energy (in the form of heat), also free neutrons.Binding energy
What would happen if crude oil ran out?
The we (i.e., mankind) would have to use some other source of energy.The we (i.e., mankind) would have to use some other source of energy.The we (i.e., mankind) would have to use some other source of energy.The we (i.e., mankind) would have to use some other source of energy.
Produced when two or more nuclei join together or when the nucleus of one atoms splits apart?
Nuclear Energy
How is nuclear waste threat to the mankind?
mankind
If you could invent something to help mankind what would it be?
some thing really usefull
Which energy transfer is more usefull?
kinetic energy
Is nuclear energy good-?
I do not know what the word "good" means in this context. Nuclear energy is a natural phenomena and natural phenomena have no morality, they just are. What has morality is mankind and how/if he choses to use the phenomena nature has given us.
How robots are usefull in the word of nuclear physics?
Robots are useful almost anywhere!
Can one nuclear bomb destroy mankind?
no
Who brought the world close to a nuclear war?
Mankind
Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
Is nuclear energy a chemical energy?
The energy released is nuclear energy.
Is fission nuclear energy chemical energy or mechanical energy?
Nuclear fission is a type of nuclear reaction that converts nuclear energy into thermal energy (heat), which can then be used to generate mechanical energy (such as electricity). So, fission nuclear energy originates as nuclear energy and can be converted into mechanical energy.
What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?
The energy stored in an atom's nucleus is nuclear energy. This energy is released through processes like nuclear fusion or fission, which involve manipulating the nucleus of an atom to release large amounts of energy.
What steps should mankind take in preparing for the future energy needs?
Mankind is in agreement that the sustainable future energy must be the renewable source e.g. hydro-power, solar energy (Photo-voltaic, Thermo-electric), wind energy, wave energy or biologically derived biofuel. However, the bridging gap from fossil fuel to fully renewable energy is in struggle by cost of renewable and environmental impact issues. It is likely that mankind had to depend on alternative depleting energy like Nuclear power for quite a periods of time before achievement of renewable society.
