Yes, although it is only temporary; sooner or later the waste has to be dealt with and the fuel used will also run out.

Another option for nuclear power is thorium, a naturally occurring element that is far more abundant than uranium. It's more efficient, can't be used to develop nuclear weapons and the waste is radioactive for a much shorter amount of time than uranium.

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.


Is nuclear energy potential energy or kinetic energy?

Nuclear energy is a form of potential energy.


Is there nuclear energy in nuclear bombs?

Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.

Nuclear reactors to help with the energy crisis?

Yes, if there is a crisis.


Why is nuclear energy a solution to the energy crisis?

Because:Nuclear energy based on nuclear fusion relies on almost unlimited energy primary sources (mainly tritium and deuterium in water).Nuclear energy based on nuclear fission relies on almost unlimited energy primary sources of uranium and thorium; especially when breeders are used.

Can nuclear energy be part of the solution to your energy crisis and climate change?

Most certainly, nuclear energy can be part of the solution to our energy needs. What the world wants to get away from is nuclear power that relies on fission, or breaking apart the atoms, of radioactive/unstable elements such as uranium. Helium-3 is an isotope of helium that is not radioactive/unstable. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin, Fusion Technology institute have succeeded in fusing helium-3 atoms, demonstrating that nuclear power, with no radiation whatsoever is not only possible, but it is ready to be fully developed and used.


Is nuclear energy a solution tothe energy crisis?

It is an alternative, but nuclear power plants are not 100% safe and are prone to radiation leaks (especially during man made or natural calamities). It is a solution as long as it works, but can be a problem of immeasurable proportions if a disaster happens. Radioactivity from malfunctioning and damaged plants can stay around for years and years. And there is the question of disposing spent fuel. Until we know to harness nuclear energy safely, it should be one of the last choices.


What is bad about nuclear energy?

Mainly that no good solution has been found to dispose of the nuclear wastes.

Describe the energy of nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion has not yet been achieved on Earth but it is the process by which the un and stars are believed to gain their energy. At the moment nuclear reactors use nuclear fission, which is the splitting of radioactive nucleii. Nuclear fussion is the combining, or the fusion, of atoms which would release much much more energy. Many scientists believe that this is the way we need to go to solve the energy crisis.
