Nothing is destroyed. Burning coal, oil, etc destroys what is burned. Hydroelectric power simply takes a river that is flowing and uses the power of of gravity pulling the water to a lower elevation to make electricity. It will keep happening unless the river drys up.

∙ 15y agoA nuclear fission reactor has to be refuelled at intervals with new enriched fuel and the old fuel removed. This is done in batches every two years or so, but not all of the fuel each time. Some reactors can be refuelled one channel at a time so this makes the fuel cycle more flexible.

Do microwaves have any nuclear power?
There is no nuclear power involved in a microwave unless the electricity used to power it is from a nuclear power plant.
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
What type of nuclear reaction is used to create power in nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fission
How is a nuclear power plant safe?
How is a nuclear power plant safe?
Is hydrogen energy easily renewed?
Yes hydrogen can be easily renewed by separating it from water or extracting it from gasoline
How can water power be renewed?
Water power is renewed naturally by the water cycle.
How is biofuel easily renewed?
Biofuel is made from vegetation and vegetable oil. This is easily renewed when more plants are grown. This should not be at the expense of food production.

What are examples of nuclear power?
nuclear power
How are nuclear power plants?
by nuclear power ¬.¬
How does nuclear get its power?
Nuclear power is produced through two processes: Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion.
Do microwaves have any nuclear power?
There is no nuclear power involved in a microwave unless the electricity used to power it is from a nuclear power plant.
How is heat energy from burning fossil fuels and from splitting atoms used to create electricity?
In either case, the heat from the fuel is used to make steam which is used to turn large turbines attached to electricity generators. So whether the power plant uses fossil fuel, or nuclear fuel, the method of electricity generation is the same - the nuclear fuel is simply cleaner, more environmentally freindly, more efficient, and more easily renewed.
Is nuclear power biology?
No. Nuclear power is not based on biology. It is based on nuclear physics.
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
What percentage of US power production is from nuclear power?
It is 28% nuclear power.
