What runs on nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is typically used to generate electricity through nuclear power plants. Ships and submarines also use nuclear energy to power their propulsion systems. Additionally, some research facilities and spacecraft are powered by nuclear energy sources.

What are the con's of nuclear power?
Some cons of nuclear power include the risks of accidents and meltdowns, the challenges of long-term radioactive waste disposal, and the potential for nuclear proliferation if the technology falls into the wrong hands. Additionally, the high upfront costs of building and maintaining nuclear power plants can be a deterrent for some countries.
What are nuclear power cons?
Some common cons of nuclear power include the risk of accidents leading to radioactive leaks, the long-term storage and disposal of radioactive waste, and concerns about nuclear proliferation and the potential for nuclear weapons development. Additionally, nuclear power plants can be expensive to build and decommission.
Is nuclear power banned?
No, nuclear power is not banned in most countries. However, some countries have chosen to phase out or discontinue nuclear power plants for various reasons such as safety concerns, cost, or public opinion. Generally, nuclear power is regulated and subject to strict safety protocols.
What are disadvantges of solar power?
Sunlight isn't constant. There's no sun at night.
What are some dangers from a nuclear power plant?
if there is a fire the nuclear power plant goes big boom
What are some disadvantges of nuclear energy that doesn't involve radiation and core meltdowns?
The main disadvantage is that nuclear fuel is expensive and we have only so much of it; it too will run out, just as fossil fuels will run out. From a long-term perspective it is more promising to use longer-lasting energy sources such as solar power, since the sun will continue to shine for billions of years to come.
Is nuclear power hazadous to people?
the power itself isn't. creating the power is, because, you have a nuclear reactor of some kind, with radioactive parts.
What are some harmful energy power plants?
nuclear power plants
What are the misuse of nuclear power?
Some of the miss uses of nuclear energy is that people inhale it
What are some exampels of nuclear energy?
the sun, atomic bombs, nuclear power plants
What runs on nuclear energy?

What are some renewable resouces?
hydropower, wind power, nuclear power (mostly)
How are nuclear processes used for medicinal and industrial applications?
Nuclear power plants supply power to parts of some citites. This is an example of how nuclear processes are used in industrial applications.
