It can be quite harmful.

That depends on regulations, planning, quality of design, quality of construction, quality of operation, and many other factors. As in any other technology humans use.

Is radiation good for nuclear energy?

Radiation is used in nuclear energy to generate heat through fission reactions in the reactor core. This heat is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. While radiation can be harnessed for the production of nuclear energy, it is important to control and manage it to prevent harmful exposure to humans and the environment.


Is fission nuclear energy chemical energy or mechanical energy?

Nuclear fission is a type of nuclear reaction that converts nuclear energy into thermal energy (heat), which can then be used to generate mechanical energy (such as electricity). So, fission nuclear energy originates as nuclear energy and can be converted into mechanical energy.


What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?

The energy stored in an atom's nucleus is nuclear energy. This energy is released through processes like nuclear fusion or fission, which involve manipulating the nucleus of an atom to release large amounts of energy.


Does a nuclear bomb have radiation in it?

Yes, a nuclear bomb produces radiation as a result of the nuclear fission or fusion reactions that release large amounts of energy. This radiation can have immediate and long-term harmful effects on living organisms and the environment.


Why is nuclear technology important and why is it also harmful?

Nuclear technology is important for generating large amounts of energy with low carbon emissions, aiding in medical diagnostics and treatments, and ensuring national security through deterrence. However, it is also harmful due to the risk of accidents, potential for proliferation of weapons, long-lived radioactive waste, and environmental concerns related to mining and disposal of nuclear materials.
