there are pros and cons for using nuclear power (as with all power sources). pros of using nuclear power are: it can produce at lot more power than a combustion reaction can e.g burning coal, uranium and plutonium (used in the reactors of nuclear power stations) is fairly cheap. cons of using of using nuclear power include: the waste products of nuclear reactions are incredibly dangerous and take thousands of years to become un-reactive, nuclear power stations also have hefty maintenance requirements, cost a lot to build and don't last as long as more conventional power stations. So to address your question- people are divided over whether the pros of nuclear power outweigh the cons. it may be realistic to nuclear power, however it is very unlikely that it will be the world's main power source.
What else can I help you with?
Do batteries use nuclear energy?
Batteries use chemical energy to create voltage to drive current flow. They do not use nuclear energy.
How do use the words nuclear energy in a sentence?
there was nuclear energy in the science experiment
What method do we use for generating energy, nuclear fusion or fission?
Nuclear fission is the method currently used for generating energy, while nuclear fusion is still being developed for practical use.
What is the most common use for nuclear energy?
The most common use for nuclear energy is electricity generation in nuclear power plants. These plants use the heat produced by nuclear fission to create steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
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.
What Does not use nuclear energy?
All material uses nuclear energy.
Do batteries use nuclear energy?
Batteries use chemical energy to create voltage to drive current flow. They do not use nuclear energy.
What material does not use nuclear energy?
All material uses nuclear energy.
The use of nuclear reactors to generate electricity is?
The use of nuclear energy
What do you use nuclear?
we use nuclear because it helps save energy
What nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
Where do you use nuclear energy?
In nuclear fission reactors
How do you use nuclear energy in a sentence?
Nuclear energy is obtained by the fissioning of nuclei of uranium235, in a controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, which produces heat that can be converted to electricity by normal power plant methods.
What energy resource would you use if you had no nuclear energy?
We would still be relying on coal to a greater extent, though no doubt renewable sources of energy would also be exploited.
Is the use of nuclear energy to conserve energy feasible?
If you use nuclear energy in place of fossil fuels, you are conserving the fossil fuel, that is reducing the amount you use.
Uranium was use in the development of the?
Nuclear energy Nuclear weapons
What energy do nuclear power plants create?
They use nuclear energy to produce power for the grid.
