Nuclear plants are normally run on base load, that is at a constant output, because they run with lower fuel costs than fossil fired stations. Where there is a high proportion of nuclear plant, as in France at 75 percent, some of the nuclear plants will have to load follow, that is respond to changes in national load demand, but I don't think this applies in the US with only 20 percent nuclear. Stations with higher fuel costs would be shutdown at night or other low load periods, rather than nuclear, so yes there will always be some nuclear being generated at any time.
What else can I help you with?
Is all energy nuclear?
No, not all energy is nuclear. Energy exists in many forms, such as electrical, chemical, thermal, kinetic, and potential energy. Nuclear energy is a specific type of energy generated from nuclear reactions in the nucleus of atoms.
Is solar energy more efficient than nuclear energy?
Solar energy and nuclear energy are both efficient in their own ways. Solar energy is renewable and non-polluting, but it is dependent on weather conditions and location. Nuclear energy is a reliable source of power, but it produces radioactive waste and has associated safety concerns. The efficiency of each depends on factors such as cost, environmental impact, and energy output.
What type of energy will nuclear will use?
Nuclear energy utilizes the energy released during nuclear fission or fusion reactions within the atomic nucleus to generate heat, which is then converted into electricity using turbines and generators.
This is also known as atomic energy?
The source of atomic energy is the "binding energy" that exists in the nucleus of all atoms. This is the energy that is contained in the union of the protons and neutrons of the nucleus. When the nucleus is split apart, the binding energy is released.
What does solar nuclear and oil all have in common?
Solar, nuclear, and oil are all sources of energy used for power generation. Solar energy harnesses the sun's heat and light, nuclear energy comes from the splitting of atoms, and oil is a fossil fuel extracted from the earth. Despite their differences in origin and environmental impact, all three play crucial roles in meeting global energy demands.
What are the energy sources which can be developed in India?
All available energy sources are open to a country like India. They have nuclear capabilities so even nuclear power would be a developable option.
Is all energy nuclear?
No, not all energy is nuclear. Energy exists in many forms, such as electrical, chemical, thermal, kinetic, and potential energy. Nuclear energy is a specific type of energy generated from nuclear reactions in the nucleus of atoms.
What Does not use nuclear energy?
All material uses nuclear energy.
Is nuclear energy expensive and available at all times?
The generating cost is much the same overall as coal, the fuel cost is lower but the plants are more expensive to build. Most nuclear plants run on base load because the fuel cost is lower.
What material does not use nuclear energy?
All material uses nuclear energy.
2 facts about nuclear energy?
Nuclear power is the major source of energy among all nations.
How are nuclear energy used?
Saying nuclear energy is like saying Norwegian furniture. Nuclear power/energy is used everywhere, in 2009 20% of all electricity in the US was nuclear origin.
Is solar energy more efficient than nuclear energy?
Solar energy and nuclear energy are both efficient in their own ways. Solar energy is renewable and non-polluting, but it is dependent on weather conditions and location. Nuclear energy is a reliable source of power, but it produces radioactive waste and has associated safety concerns. The efficiency of each depends on factors such as cost, environmental impact, and energy output.
Do all stars release energy as a result of nuclear fusion?
Yes, all stars release energy due to nuclear fusion.
Does nuclear energy effect your air?
No, not at all
How old is Nuclear Energy?
Some 13.7 billion years - all stars shine by nuclear energy.
Why is mechanical energy and nuclear energy alike?
All energy can be thought of as the capacity to do work
