Nuclear technologies produce enormous amounts of energy through a process called nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split to release large amounts of heat. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives turbines connected to generators that produce electricity. The energy released in nuclear reactions is much greater than in chemical reactions, leading to the large amounts of energy produced by nuclear power plants.
In terms of energy per atom, nuclear fusion produces more energy than nuclear fission. Fusion reactions involve the combination of lighter atomic nuclei to form heavier nuclei, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. Fission reactions, on the other hand, involve the splitting of heavier atomic nuclei into smaller fragments, releasing energy.
Not much to speak of. There is no significant amount of nuclear fission going on in the Sun.
Tidal energy currently generates less than 1% of the world's total electricity production. It has the potential to provide clean and renewable energy, particularly in areas with strong tidal currents. Continued advancements in technology and infrastructure could increase its contribution to the global energy mix in the future.
Such a process would produce much, much less energy than nuclear reactions; the Sun would not be able to shine for billions of years, and producing the amount of energy it produces.Such a process would produce much, much less energy than nuclear reactions; the Sun would not be able to shine for billions of years, and producing the amount of energy it produces.Such a process would produce much, much less energy than nuclear reactions; the Sun would not be able to shine for billions of years, and producing the amount of energy it produces.Such a process would produce much, much less energy than nuclear reactions; the Sun would not be able to shine for billions of years, and producing the amount of energy it produces.
Because it pollutes the earth and may not be much in future.
Around 10% of the world's energy is generated from nuclear power.
Currently, nuclear power accounts for around 10% of the world's total energy production.
It is widely used but not as much as hydrocarbons and hydroelectric. Japan has extensive nuclear facilities, Europe has many.
In the US, 19 percent of electricity. World-wide about 16 percent
I think you must mean how much energy can nuclear power supply , not use, and it is in the world-where else? In the US there are about 100 nuclear reactors and they supply about 20 percent of the nation's electricity
In 2007 it was about 2600 Terawatthours. See the link below for how this figure is arrived at for all countries with nuclear power
In the US, 19 percent of total electricity. In the world, about 16 percent
Nuclear power accounts for 6.3% of world's total primary energy supply or 16% of world's total electricity production.
The world's power needs could be met with 7500 well placed reactors.
There are no nuclear generating plants in Colorado
Not much pollution unless there is a nuclear reaction.
