How can energy be transformed from heat to nuclear?

Energy can be transformed from heat to nuclear through a process called nuclear fission. In nuclear fission, the heat generated by splitting atoms in a nuclear reactor is converted into electricity through steam turbines. This process harnesses the immense energy released from nuclear reactions to generate power.


Why don't new nuclear fuel rods get hot?

New nuclear fuel rods do generate heat due to nuclear fission reactions taking place within them. However, the heat produced is effectively managed by cooling systems in nuclear reactors to prevent overheating. Additionally, the fuel rods are designed to efficiently transfer heat away from the reactor core to maintain safe operating temperatures.


How do nuclear cooling towers work to regulate the temperature of nuclear power plants?

Nuclear cooling towers work by releasing excess heat from the nuclear power plant into the atmosphere. Water is used to cool down the hot water from the reactor, which then evaporates and releases heat through the tower. This process helps regulate the temperature of the nuclear power plant and prevent overheating.


What makes the sun hot?

The sun is hot because of nuclear fusion reactions happening in its core, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing a lot of energy in the process.


Why don't we use nuclear energy?

We use nuclear energy on a limited basis due to its instability. One reason we do not use it more is because the energy is not sustainable. There are two types of nuclear fission. Hot fission and cold fission. Hot fission is currently the only method we know how to utilize. Cold fission produces approximately 10 times the energy and produces fewer radiation spikes. We simply do not know how to initiate cold fission.

Why don't nuclear subs use electric motors instead of steam turbines?

nuclear power makes hot water which turns into steam. instead of turbine how about a generator..
