For practical purposes, with present technology, the resource required for nuclear power is a supply of newly mined uranium which is then refined and enriched in U-235 and manufactured into fuel rods.

Which energys go into potential or kinetic energy mechanical thermal electrical chemical nuclear gravitational motion radiant or sound?

Potential energy - gravitational, chemical, nuclear Kinetic energy - mechanical, thermal, electrical, motion, radiant, sound


What is a non renewable energy resource that cant be burned?

Uranium is a non-renewable energy resource that can't be burned. It is used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity through a process called nuclear fission.


Where can the resource for nuclear energy be found?

Are you asking for a resource for information about nuclear energy, or are you asking about a resource in nature which can provide energy from nuclei?For a resource for information, start with the Hyperphysics website at Georgia State University in the US. Search for 'hyperphysics nuclear energy'. Lots of short, linked, explanations.The natural resource which is most commonly used in nuclear powered electrical generating stations is uranium. Uranium is mined in a variety of places including North American, Africa, and Asia.


Is nuclear power a renewable energy resource?

No, nuclear power is not considered a renewable energy resource. It relies on the fission of uranium or plutonium, which are finite resources. Although nuclear power produces electricity without emitting greenhouse gases, its fuel source is not renewable.


What kind of nuclear resource does a nuclear power use?

What kind of nuclear resource being used in nuclear power depends on what kind of nuclear power is being used. For nuclear fusion, we use tritium and seawater to obtain deuterium for a DT reaction. In nuclear fission, we commonly use uranium ore.

Is nuclear power a natural resource?

Nuclear power itself is not a natural resource; rather, it is a method of generating energy using nuclear reactions. The primary natural resource used in nuclear power is uranium, which is mined from the earth. Other materials, such as thorium, can also be utilized in nuclear reactors. While nuclear power is a low-carbon energy source, it relies on these natural resources for fuel.
