How energy released in nuclear energy?

In nuclear energy, energy is released through a process called nuclear fission or fusion. In nuclear fission, heavy atoms like uranium split into smaller ones, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. In nuclear fusion, lighter atoms combine to form heavier ones, also releasing a significant amount of energy.


How is nuclear energy converted into other useful forms of energy?

Nuclear energy is typically converted into electricity through a process called nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. Other useful forms of energy, such as heat or propulsion for ships, can also be obtained directly from nuclear reactions.


Does water have nuclear energy?

Yes, but more specifically, the atoms that make up the water molecule have nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is what hold the atoms together. It holds the nuetrons and protons together within the nucleus of the atom. So anything that has nuetrons and protons has nuclear energy.


What is nuclear energy i don't understand?

Nuclear energy is electricity generated through the process of nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split to release energy. This energy is then captured and used to produce electricity in nuclear power plants. It is a low-carbon energy source but comes with concerns about safety and nuclear waste management.


Is nuclear energy thermal energy or potential?

Until converted, it is potential energy. However, to make nuclear energy domestically useful it is converted into thermal (thermodynamic) energy (heat), which, in turn, is converted into electrical energy, both of which are kinetic energy.
