Uranium was created in supernova explosions more than 7 billion years ago. The nuclear energy in this uranium is released by nuclear fission of the atomic nuclei in a neutron chain reaction.

Nuclear physicists have theorized that it is possible to transform matter into energy and energy into matter.


What is the nuclear fual in the sun?

The nuclear fuel of the sun is hydrogen. The Sun binds the hydrogen atoms into helium, which creates energy in the process.


Where and how is the Sun and radiant energy?

Nuclear fusion creates energy in the Sun's core and is radiated outward through the Sun's layers


What is the method of energy transformation of thermonuclear plants?

The method of energy transformation of thermonuclear plants begins with nuclear fission. The nuclear energy is then transformed to thermal energy. This energy is used to boil water which creates steam that spins a turbine. This turbine creates mechanical energy which when coupled with a generator creates electromagnetic energy, or electricity.


What is the name of the metal that creates nuclear energy?

Hydrogen gives off radiation, but uranium is more known for it's nuclear radioactivity due to its use in nuclear reactors.


What type of energy does a nuclear power plant create?

A nuclear power plant creates electricity by harnessing the energy released from nuclear fission reactions in the reactor core. This energy is used to heat water, produce steam, and drive turbines that generate electricity.


How does the sun creates its own energy?

The sun creates energy through nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing immense amounts of energy in the process. This process occurs in the sun's core, where temperatures and pressures are high enough to initiate fusion reactions.


How is controlled nuclear fusion a source of energy for us?

it creates an explosion which obciously creates heat which allows a turbine to move through rapid water evaporation thus creating energy.


What process creates energy within the sun?

Nuclear fusion is the process that creates energy within the sun. During nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of heat and light. This process is sustained by the immense gravitational pressure at the sun's core.
