Nuclear energy remains controversial, therefore we cannot know exactly what kind of future it will have. Many people support it, because it is a source of power that does not release greenhouse gases and therefore does not contribute to global warming. Many other people oppose it because of the possibility of very destructive accidents such as the one at Chernobyl, and because we still do not have a good method of disposing of nuclear waste. The debate continues.

Is there a possibility for personal, home nuclear power generation in the near future?

After searching for an answer to this question I can only find information on nuclear power generation in power station. I would assume that this complete lack of any information in relation to home nuclear power generation means it will not be a possibility in the near future.

What is a good title for your paper on nuclear energy?

I chose 'Nuclear Powers Secondary Loop' because of nuclear energy up and comming behavior, and that in nuclear power a Secondary Loop absorbs heat and generates the electricity.


What are two common sources of nuclear energy?

Two common sources of nuclear energy are nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy, and nuclear fusion, where atoms are combined to release energy. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to generate electricity, while nuclear fusion is a process being researched as a potential future source of clean energy.


Does Sydney have a nuclear power station?

Certainly yes


How can you produce energy in future by nuclear power plant if there is no source?

The source of nuclear power is the nucleus of an atom; any atom. As long as there is mass in the universe there will be a source of nuclear power. Even if in the future we run out of the radioactive material we currently use to fuel nuclear power plants, it would be foolish to assume that we will never again be able to harness nuclear energy in another way.

How did they create nuclear power in Back to the Future part 2?

In none of the back to the future movies have they ever created nuclear power. In the first one they used lighting to generate 1.21 gw of energy, and then the professer fixed it in the beggining of the second movie so you don't need nuclear power to go back.

How is nuclear generation similar to nuclear fusion?

There is very little similarity between present day power plants which use nuclear fission, and any possible nuclear fusion plant of the future


Should the UK develop nuclear power in the future?

We should not have nuclear power in the future because so many things can happen; for example people can get skin cancer and can cause high level radioactive waste/and it is very expensive and also nuclear power can cause small accidents. the nuclear power looks like a dick with wee coming out (that is a very true fact) i am very picc or i dont want skin cancer


Does nuclear power provides cheap and clean energy?

Only if you don't consider the cost to the future.
