These questions are for nerds, so i think whoever is into those stuff are nerds, Geeks,loners,and homosexuals.

This guy ^ Clearly is ignorant. if we're looking it up on here it means we dont know it. If we were nerds we'd know the answer so we wouldn't have to look it up! LOL, Who's ignorant now? still you ;D

Is nuclear energy stored?

No, it is used when produced (ie in electricity)


How is nuclear energy used to produce electricity?

Nuclear energy, or nuclear power, uses exothermic nuclear processes to produce electricity. Nuclear power plants provide around 10% of the world's electricity.


Do nuclear power plants heat up the planet?

Any power plant causes heat to be produced when the electricity is used, but nuclear plants don't produce greenhouse gases as fossil fuels do


Do microwaves have any nuclear power?

There is no nuclear power involved in a microwave unless the electricity used to power it is from a nuclear power plant.


Can you store nuclear energy?

Nuclear energy is already stored as binding energy in the atom nuclei and is released either by nuclear fission, by nuclear fusion, or radioactive decay of these nuclei.So, I think the question could be:Can we store nuclear power?orCan we store the power (electrical, mechanical, or thermal power) released from nuclear fission or nuclear fusion? .The answer is: yes, we can store the power produced from nuclear fission or nuclear fusion.For example, thermal power produced from nuclear fission in nuclear power plants can be used to produce hydrogen by thermochemical water decomposition (at efficiencies higher than 90 %). This hydrogen could be used later either in fuel cells to produce electricity during peak electric demand periods or could be used in transportation to fuel internal combustion engines.Another example is to use the electricity produced in nuclear power plants, during off-peak electricity demand periods, to pump water from a lower reservoir to a high reservoir and then during peak electricity demand periods this water is allowed to fall down on turbines connected to electricity generator system and thus producing electricity.

The steam turbines (which use the steam produced by the hot nuclear pile).


How can nuclear power be used to generate electricity?

Nuclear energy is produced by a controlled nuclear chain reaction and creates heat—which is used to boil water, produce steam, and drive a steam turbine. The turbine can be used for mechanical work and also to generate electricity.

How is electrical energy produced by nuclear power?

The nuclear reaction produces heat, which is used to boil water. The steam then drives a steam turbine, producing electricity.


How electricity is produced in a power plant?

In a nuclear power plant, the heat energy released from fission is used to change water into steam. the steam then turns the blades of a turbine to generate electricity.
