There is no way of storing nuclear energy once it is produced
b) Light - the original form of the energy could have been potential energy stored in an atom or molecule before being released as kinetic energy in the form of light when the subatomic particle moves.
Energy is stored in a cracker in the form of chemical energy. The ingredients in the cracker, such as carbohydrates and fats, contain potential energy that is released when the cracker is broken down during digestion, providing our bodies with energy.
The energy we receive from the sun is nuclear in origin, and that is what caused the vegetation to grow that turned into fossil fuels. The sun's heat drives the weather and that produces wind for wind turbines and rain for hydro power and ocean waves for wave power. The uranium we use probably arose from supernovas that preceded the sun's formation, but we can now use the nuclear energy it contains. Biomass is obvously a product of the sun's heating effects. I can't think of anything else.
One non-medical use of nuclear energy is power generation in nuclear power plants to produce electricity for homes and industries. Another example is the use of nuclear energy in research to study fundamental particles and phenomena in physics.
France's main energy sources are nuclear power and renewable energy sources such as hydroelectric and wind power. Nuclear power accounts for the majority of the country's electricity production. France has been gradually transitioning to increase the share of renewable energy in its energy mix.
Nuclear energy is released as heat in the fuel of a nuclear reactor, but only when the reactor has been brought to criticality and the chain reaction started. At that point the heat must be used, it can't be stored and used later. Before criticality is established, the reactor is shutdown and producing no nuclear heat from fission, so you could regard it as having potential nuclear energy in that state
The heat energy is not stored, its created by a chemical reaction.
Offshore Palomares Spain was one, it was recovered later. There have been many "broken arrows" incidents.
Not quite. The problem of getting rid of the nuclear waste has not been satisfactorily solved.
Nuclear weapon, nuclear (atomic) power stations. Also the Sun works on nuclear reactions.
energy is stored in a cracker by the chemical bonds that have been created in the making of the cracker. when the cracker is digested these bonds are broken and energy is released.
b) Light - the original form of the energy could have been potential energy stored in an atom or molecule before being released as kinetic energy in the form of light when the subatomic particle moves.
Mainly that no good solution has been found to dispose of the nuclear wastes.
plants & vegetation.
The UK has been nuclear for a very long time. It has lots of nuclear energy stations and lots of nuclear weapons.
Chemical energy is considered potential energy because it is stored in the chemical bonds of molecules, which can be released through chemical reactions. Nuclear energy is considered potential energy because it is stored in the nucleus of atoms and can be released through nuclear reactions. Both forms of energy have the potential to do work when converted into other forms of energy.
In France for example.
