You can't reuse energy after it has been used-this applies whether nuclear or not. What you can do with nuclear power is to breed useful fissile material such as plutonium from non-fissile uranium-238. However to separate out the plutonium is a somewhat hazardous chemical process, in the US this has only been done for military purposes.

Why can't you reuse energy?

Energy cannot be reused because of the second law of thermodynamics, which states that in any energy transformation, some energy is lost as heat. This loss of energy as heat makes it impossible to completely recycle energy for reuse.


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.
