this may or may not be true but my opinion is that people are afraid of nuclear disasters suchas the ones that took place in chernoble, kyshtym, windscale fire, &Tokaimura. They all had nuclear accidents and many people believe more people died than the ones 'recorded' dead as a result of the toxic exposure.......you should look them up.
What else can I help you with?
What is neuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is the energy released during nuclear reactions, typically through processes such as nuclear fission or fusion. This energy is harnessed to produce electricity in nuclear power plants. Nuclear energy is a low-carbon source of energy, but it also comes with potential risks such as accidents and the production of radioactive waste.
How did nuclear energy get its name?
"Nuclear" in nuclear energy refers to the nucleus of an atom. Nuclear energy is produced through the splitting (fission) or merging (fusion) of atomic nuclei, which releases a large amount of energy. The term "nuclear" distinguishes this type of energy production from other forms like chemical or mechanical.
How much of the worlds energy is produced by nuclear power?
Currently, nuclear power accounts for around 10% of the world's total energy production.
Major problems associated with the production of nuclear energy?
Some major problems associated with the production of nuclear energy include the risks of accidents and potential environmental damage from radioactive waste. There are also concerns about nuclear proliferation and the high cost of building and maintaining nuclear power plants. Additionally, public perception and acceptance of nuclear energy can also pose challenges.
What European country depends on nuclear energy for approximately 75 percent of its electricity generation?
France relies on nuclear energy for about 75 percent of its electricity generation. It has a significant number of nuclear power plants that contribute to its energy production.
Uranium is used in the production of what kind of energy?
Nuclear energy
What is the energy production in the us?
Uranium is important in nuclear energy.
Fission is used in the production of?
nuclear energy
what- Fission is used in the production of _____.?
nuclear energy
What is necessary for production of nuclear energy?
Radioactive material
What is the comparison between the number of deaths caused by nuclear power and coal energy production?
Nuclear power causes fewer deaths compared to coal energy production.
What are the future uses of nuclear energy?
In the future the uses remain the same: production of electrical and thermal energy and nuclear weapons.
Can you explain the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion and how they differ in terms of energy production?
Nuclear fission involves splitting atoms to release energy, while nuclear fusion involves combining atoms to release energy. In terms of energy production, nuclear fusion has the potential to produce more energy than fission, but it is currently more difficult to control and sustain.
How much of the US's current energy production comes from nuclear energy?
For electricity production, just under 20 percent
What industries use nuclear energy?
Only electricity production
Why is uranium used in nuclear power production?
Uranium is a radioactive substance. Nuclear power production is carried out by the energy supplied by nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors control the energy emission by nuclear fission reaction in radioactive substance when bombarded by neutrons.
What was nuclear energy used for in the past?
The same as it is used now, for electricity production, plus nuclear weapons
