How do use the words nuclear energy in a sentence?

there was nuclear energy in the science experiment


What does nuclear power and nuclear weapons have in common?

They both utilise nuclear fission, in which nuclei of U-235 or Pu-239 are split apart which releases enormous energy. In nuclear power this is done at a comparatively slow controllable rate, in a weapon you want a very rapid reaction to create a huge blast of energy.


What sort of energy is stored inside uranium?

Uranium stores potential energy inside its nucleus in the form of nuclear binding energy. This energy is released as heat when uranium undergoes nuclear fission in a controlled environment such as a nuclear reactor.


Does Nuclear Energy make sense for the environment?

Nuclear energy does have benefits for the environment as it produces low greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels. However, the production and disposal of nuclear waste pose environmental risks, and the potential for accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima also raise concerns. Improved safety measures and waste management practices could make nuclear energy a more viable option for addressing climate change.


What is the method used to produce nuclear energy in power plants?

Nuclear energy is produced through nuclear fission in power plants. This process involves splitting uranium atoms in a controlled environment, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat which is then used to produce steam, turning turbines and generating electricity.

Is nuclear energy good for the environment?

No, nuclear energy is not good for the environment because after they get the energy there is nuclear waste which is radioactive and is NOT good for the environment.It can be if well controlled, as no carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases are produced. However if things go wrong as in Japan now (March 2011) then it is definitely not good for the environment or the people who live in it.

How impossible to use nuclear energy?

Using nuclear energy is possible, and in fact being done. It has been done since the 1940s. The first nuclear electric plant came on line some time after that, but I worked at one in the 1980s.


Is nuclear energy good for humans and the environment?

Nuclear energy provides electricity which is good for humans, and for the environment it does not produce greenhouse gases, so that is good. However it has dangers too, so must be well controlled

What are the pros and cons of using Nuclear energy?

The kWh produced by nuclear energy is the cheapest. It is a clean energy that does not pollute the environment. It gives chance for people to work during its construction and operation. It is reliable source of energy.
