I only know one - to produce electricity. Small reactors are used to produce radio-isotopes for medical use, but I wouldn't call that industrial.
the industrial uses of nuclear energy i know are:
1. the automobile industry- to test quality of steel in vehicles.
2. aircraft manufactures- check for flaws in jet engines.
3. mining and petroleum companies- to locate and quantify oil, natural gas and mineral deposits.
4. can manufactures- to obtain proper thickness of tin and aluminium.
pipeline companies- to look for defects in welds.
construction crews- to gauge the density of road surfaces and sub surfaces.
nuclear energy is used through power plants and is becoming one of the most powerful energy sources.

∙ 15y agoApart from the obvious one of producing electricity, sources of gamma rays are used in examining welded structures to check for defects. This is similar to using x-rays for human or animal bodies, but gamma rays will penetrate thick steel being more energetic.

What 2 types of energy does nuclear bombs use?
Chemical energy- to begin the explosion- and nuclear energy- the main explosion.
What is the energy you use to run machines?
There are several ways to power a machine. For a battery it uses chemical energy and for a car battery it uses chemical energy. There are 2 types of energy:Potential energy and Kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy waiting to be released. and kinetic energy is energy of motion. There are 7 diffrent types of energy: Mechanical, Thermal, Chemical, electrical, sound and Nuclear energy.
