New nuclear fuel does not get hot, per se, because it has not been critical, and does not therefore contain mixed fission byproducts.
By nuclear fusion, a hot plasma of hydrogen isotopes will convert to helium and release energy
It can't explode like a nuclear bomb. It could have a steam explosion, as can any steam power plant. It is also possible for it to build up hydrogen gas if it runs too hot and damages its fuel rods, the hydrogen could explode.
The nuclear reactors did not explode. The problem was that the cooling system failed, and they overheated. Some water got so hot that it split into hydrogen and oxygen, and the hydrogen burned in the oxygen, which cause it to "pop"
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.
hot
Shielded nuclear radiation containment chambers are commonly referred to as hot cells.
the sun is hot because of the nuclear fusion that blows up in it

Nuclear fusion.
Yep, you got it.
natural nuclear waste
The Sun is hot because it is converting Hydrogen into Helium by nuclear fusion.

yes, it is so hot it caneasily melt sand and dirt and instantly vaporize metals
a star
An alternative natural energy resource based on underground hot water source is called?
