What are some examples of energy sources?
During photosynthesis, a plant - whcih is a producer - absorbs light energy from the sun and converts it into glucose, which is what the plant uses for energy. Some of the energy that the plant made may be released into the atmosphere as heat, some will be eaten by insects and other herbovores, which are called primary consumers. Secondary consumers may eat the primary consumers, getting energy from eating them. Consumers get energy by eating other consumers or producers.
When was the nuclear power plants invented?
The first nuclear reactor was made in 1942 as part of the Manhattan Project, but did not produce electricity. The first power producing reactors were built in the 1950's in the US, UK, and France.
Is Nuclear Energy Created?
The law that people go by is: Energy can not be destroyed or created by nature.Nuclear energy is man made though, with our nuclear power plants. So this contains the correct information for Nuclear Energy. This happens because of the splitting/smashing of atoms, creating a powerful enough energy to power homes and other appliances.
What is nuclear energy made of?
Nuclear energy is made from the energy released during nuclear reactions, specifically the fission (splitting) or fusion (combining) of atomic nuclei. Fission is the process used in nuclear power plants where uranium or plutonium atoms are split, releasing a large amount of energy. Fusion is the process that powers the sun, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium.
What percentage of us energy is made by nuclear power?
Nuclear power accounts for roughly 20% of electricity generation in the United States.
How is a nuclear power plant's fuel made?
iy
How many nuclear power plants does the Philippines have?
There is only one nuclear power plant in the Philippines. It is located in Bataan and was made in 1973.
Which and when was 1st power plant of electricity made in India?
First nuclear plant was Tarapur in 1969
How does nuclear energy get from where it is found to the nuclear power plants?
You are under a misapprehension about 'finding' nuclear energy. The uranium is found in a natural ore, mined and refined, and then made into nuclear fuel in the form of fuel rods. At this stage there is no nuclear energy being released, except for a small amount of natural radioactivity which is trivial. It is only in a nuclear reactor that a nuclear chain reaction is produced and energy is released because U-235 is being fissioned. This appears as heat in the fuel rods which is then used in a normal power plant steam cycle.

How much power is made from nuclear energy?
In the US, about 19 percent of total generation

What does a nuclear power plant need to produce electricity?
Through machinesMy answer is short and simple, although not as much as the first one, lol. Nuclear power plants create electricity much the same as any other power plant the difference is the fuel used. The nuclear fission is the energy used to heat water that creates steam to turn a turbine which generates electricity.
How is nuclear power plant's fuel made?
Nuclear power plant fuel, also known as nuclear fuel, is made by enriching naturally occurring uranium to increase the concentration of the fissile isotope U-235. This enriched uranium is then fabricated into ceramic pellets, usually made of uranium dioxide, which are stacked into fuel rods. These fuel rods are then assembled into fuel assemblies that are used in the nuclear reactor core for power generation.
