How many Nuclear powered ships does the Navy have?
There are no nuclear powered planes, and the only nuclear powered ships and subs in the US are in the Navy so use naval ports. The UK Navy has nuclear subs and these use a base in Scotland. Russia has naval ships and subs, and also nuclear ice-breakers, but I do not have port information, though they probably use Murmansk and other Arctic ports.
Does nuclear power power machines?
Nuclear power is used to produce electricity, which can power any machine which uses electric motorsImproved:Most nuclear power plants use a Rankine cycle (like traditional coal fired plants use). They generate heat, heat water, and make steam which in power plants goes to power turbine generators and then generate electricity. However, any steam powered system can be used instead of the turbine generator. There are nuclear powered ships which use the steam to turn the propeller to move. So yes, nuclear power can power machines, and they are not limited to machines powered by electric motors.High temperature reactors of new designs could be used to directly produce hydrogen from water for a hydrogen economy(this would be the cheapest way to make hydrogen for hydrogen powered cars). Waste heat after the hydrogen is produced could still be used to make steam to generate electricity as in current reactors.
Most nuclear power plants use what atoms to make nuclear energy?
Most nuclear power plants use uranium atoms to make nuclear energy through a process called nuclear fission. Uranium-235 is the most commonly used isotope for nuclear reactors because it is fissile, meaning it can sustain a chain reaction.
What businesses use nuclear energy?
Nuclear fission refers to the splitting of an atomic nucleus. It occurs naturally and can be induced in order to release energy. Nuclear fission provides the energy released by nuclear weapons as well as the energy used to produce energy at nuclear power plants.
When was nuclear energy developed?
I think that goes back to Albert Einstein, though he only theorised about it, but was correct (E = mc2). To make it a practical process, I would nominate Enrico Fermi as the foremost scientist in the field, though also Robert Oppenheimer was principal in developing the A-bomb.
Will thorium powered reactors be built?
Yes, thorium was used as a fertile material in nuclear reactors.
How much of the is powered by uranium?
The majority of nuclear reactors use uranium as nuclear fuel.
How does power generates?
Submarines are powered by diesel fuel (in the past) or more recently by nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors provide advantages in range and in noise produced.
How does submarine generates power?
Submarines are powered by diesel fuel (in the past) or more recently by nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors provide advantages in range and in noise produced.
Used to create nuclear powered reactors?
The most important component is the uranium fuel
What percentage of New Zealands electricity is powered by nuclear power?
Simple answer zero. There are no nuclear reactors in New Zealand not even research reactors. New Zealand has laws banning them.
Are there any nuclear reactors in British Columbia Canada?
NO, BC is officially a Nuclear Free zone and even mention of a plant near the border in Alberta was controversial. BC is primarily powered by hydro (turbines powered by water) and goal or diesel.
What type of power resource is used in Mexico?
Most common are oil-powered thermal power stations; there are also some coal-powered and nuclear-powered stations (Mexico has two nuclear reactors worth 1.4 GW). There are also geothermal power plants and hydroelectric plants. Wind and solar power are growing in importance, but are still uncommon.
Why are you a nuclear powered human being?
"Why are you a nuclear powered human being?"
What was the first nuclear powered vessel?
The first nuclear powered submarine was the USS Nautilus.

What are stars powered by?
Stars are powered by nuclear fusion
