What country which is committed to using nuclear power to generate electricity and which has the majority of its electricity needs provided by nuclear power is?

France is the country that is committed to using nuclear power to generate electricity and has the majority of its electricity needs provided by nuclear power. Nuclear power accounts for around 70% of the electricity generated in France.


What is one advantage of using nuclear power rather than fossil fuels?

One advantage of using nuclear power over fossil fuels is that nuclear power does not produce greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to mitigate climate change.


What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?

Nuclear power plants use nuclear energy as their source of power. They harness the energy released from nuclear reactions (such as fission) to generate electricity. The heat produced by these reactions is used to create steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.


What is a non example of a potential problem with using nuclear energy?

A non-example of a potential problem with using nuclear energy could be the positive impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels. Nuclear energy does not emit carbon dioxide during power generation, making it a cleaner energy source in terms of climate change mitigation.


How realistic would it be to use nuclear energy?

there are pros and cons for using nuclear power (as with all power sources). pros of using nuclear power are: it can produce at lot more power than a combustion reaction can e.g burning coal, uranium and plutonium (used in the reactors of nuclear power stations) is fairly cheap. cons of using of using nuclear power include: the waste products of nuclear reactions are incredibly dangerous and take thousands of years to become un-reactive, nuclear power stations also have hefty maintenance requirements, cost a lot to build and don't last as long as more conventional power stations. So to address your question- people are divided over whether the pros of nuclear power outweigh the cons. it may be realistic to nuclear power, however it is very unlikely that it will be the world's main power source.
