How do neutrons electrons and protons relate to nuclear energy?
These are the constituents of atoms. Nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons. Useful nuclear energy is only obtained from a few nuclei which can be made to fission and release energy. The two main ones are Uranium235 and Plutonium239.
Why isn't nuclear energy used more often by the society?
Nuclear power plants are expensive to build and need highly trained engineers to operate. Fear of a nuclear accident and fear of nuclear waste mean many people don't want nuclear plants to be built near them.
What are four nonrenewable sources of energy?
The four most common non-renewable resources are gas, oil, coal and copper.
What kind of scientist studies nuclear energy?
A scientist would probably be a physicist or a chemist, but engineers can also study energy, and designing heat engines would be an engineers job. A specialist in this field would be a thermodynamicist.
If a nuclear weapon exploded on a nuclear Power Plant would the explosion radius increase?
No, but there would be more release of radioactivity because the reactor itself would probably be melted in the explosion.
What is the form of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy as used in power plants results from fission of uranium235 and plutonium239
Meaning of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is energy released either by fissioning of heavy nuclei such as Uranium235 or Plutonium239, or by fusion of light isotopes such as those of hydrogen.
What are the working conditions of a nuclear engineers?
Nuclear engineers are at the forefront of researching and developing the benefits from nuclear energy and radiation. Engineers combine their knowledge of nuclear energy to the design, research, development, and construction processes.
Where does nuclear energy get its power?
From the fissioning of the nuclei of uranium235 and plutonium239. The energy released appears as thermal energy in the surrounding fuel material
What is a sentence for energy?
Nuclear energy is obtained by the fissioning of nuclei of uranium235, in a controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, which produces heat that can be converted to electricity by normal power plant methods.
What kind of math do nuclear engineers use?
Nuclear Physics!
What careers use plutonium-238?
Nuclear physicists Nuclear engineers Nuclear scientists
Who work with zirconium?
Zirconium and zirconium compounds: chemists, ceramists, nuclear engineers, metallurgists, aerospace engineers, etc.
Where does a nuclear engineer work in?
watch the simpsons... homer is a nuclear engineer, and he works in a powerplant therefore; nuclear engineers work in nuclear powerplants THE END!

What states pay the best for the following careers aerospace engineers animal breeders environmental engineers environmental scientists and nuclear engineers?
Florida, California
How do you use nuclear energy in a sentence?
Nuclear energy is obtained by the fissioning of nuclei of uranium235, in a controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, which produces heat that can be converted to electricity by normal power plant methods.
