Atomic energy is obtained through the process of nuclear fission, where the nuclei of certain heavy elements, such as uranium or plutonium, are split, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.

What is atomic weapons and h-bombs?

effectively the same thing, both obtain their energy from the atomic nucleus. the h-bomb obtains some of it via fusion of small nuclei, an atomic bomb may or may not obtain energy via fusion, both obtain at least some energy via fission of large nuclei.Did that thoroughly confuse you or did it help?


How nuclear source of energy is man made resource?

When we obtain nuclear energy from elements in the earth like Uranium, what we are doing, is obtaining energy which produced by splitting up subatomic particles. So we obtain the atomic energy from splitting up the atomic particles, not from the uranium itself, which is a natural resource. Since the splitting up of subatomic particles is completely "man-made", if you will and does not occur in the environment, Nuclear energy is a man made resource

What did the atomic energy act do?

The Atomic Energy Act of 1946 allowed for the development and regulation of atomic energy in the United States. It established the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) to oversee nuclear energy and weapons programs, and to promote peaceful uses of atomic energy. Additionally, it restricted access to nuclear information and materials in order to prevent proliferation of atomic weapons.
