How long does nuclaer energy last?
Nuclear energy can last for millions of years, as it is generated by the process of nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy. The duration of nuclear energy depends on the amount of available nuclear fuel and the efficiency of the reactor.
How many more years of nuclear fuel do you have?
We currently have enough nuclear fuel to last for several decades. The exact amount of time may vary depending on factors such as energy demand, reactor efficiency, and advancements in fuel recycling technologies.
When is nuclear energy going to run out?
Estimates on uranium resources vary from a few decades to a hundred years or more. The use of the material can be extended by recycling and processing, or by using newer technology. Thorium has not been used for nuclear power, but could be. There is enough thorium to power the world, at current levels of demand, for several thousand years at least. There are also thorium power technologies that give promise of producing very little waste, and possibly even of consuming the old nuclear waste and rendering it inert.
What was not a potential problem of using more nuclear energy?
The plant could melt down.
Is nuclear energy cheaper than other source?
Yes, nuclear energy is cheaper, and it does not produce any greenhouse gases. The spent fuel rods can be reprocessed to enrich new fuel. There has not been a nuclear reactor built in the USA in 30 years, and the only near disaster in the US was Three Mile Island in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in March 1979. Over the last 32 years our understanding of plate tectonics, material technology, metallurgy, radiation, earthquake proof construction, etc... has increased drastically, and I have no fears living 20 miles down wind of a 3 reactor nuclear power plant.
How long will nuclear fission last?

Why wont the sun last forever?
The sun is powered by nuclear fusion in its core, converting hydrogen into helium. Eventually it will run out of hydrogen fuel and start fusing helium, leading to its expansion into a red giant and eventually shedding its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula. This process will happen in about 5 billion years.
How long can a nuclear submarine go?
A submarine, theoretically, can go as long as the food for its sailors last. A submarine can make oxygen, distill water, remove CO2 and other pollutants, and provide almost anything needed to survive at sea and underwater for nearly an indefinite period of time. Modern nuclear-powered submarines' reactors will last without refueling for the life of the submarine - about 20 years. In 1960, the nuclear-powered submarine USS Triton circumnavigated the globe submerged.
How would you rank the nuclear fuels in order of being consumed from first to last with the following fuels carbon hydrogen and helium?
First it should be emphasized that hydrogen and helium are not primary energy sources. They are named as secondary energy sourcesCarbon from coal has limited resources as any fossil fuel (although coal is more abundant than oil and natural gas)As for the nuclear fuel, the uranium mining is not the only source for the nuclear fuel. Other sources are:as by product from phosphate and gold production industrythe dismantling of nuclear weaponsusing nuclear breeder reactorsuranium production from water (Japanese R&D)The availability of uranium for uranium fuel persuades some scientists to consider nuclear energy as one of the renewable energy sources.
How is a submarine powered?
Modern submarines are powered by a nuclear reactor. Others are powered by diesel engines while they are on the surface and batteries while they are submerged. The older ones that were powered by diesel and batteries had their limitations. While they were on the surface running on diesel engines they left a trail of exhaust smoke which gave away their position. When they were submerged and running on batteries they could only last so long and then they had to come to the surface, run the diesel engines and recharge the batteries. The submarines that are run by nuclear power do not have to resurface for a very, very long time.

When and where was last nuclear reactor built?
The last nuclear reactor has not been built yet.
Which star has the longest lifetime?
The stars that have the longest lifetimes are the smaller, cooler stars - red dwarfs. They are just about massive enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen fuel, but consume fuel at a very low rate. They could last for hundreds of billions of years before they exhaust their fuel.
Who made the first powered flight last?
hayley phelps
What is a ships last trip called?
A final voyage (sometimes last voyage) is a ship's last trip.
