Nuclear energy is released by every fissioning nucleus, about 200 Mev per fission. But as the fission fragments are slowed down and absorbed in the mass of the fuel rods, the nuclear energy is changed to thermal energy (heat) which can then be transferred to the reactor coolant and used for steam raising

∙ 15y agoIn a nuclear power plant, the reactor produces nuclear energy which transforms to thermal energy, and this is then used to produce steam which is used in a conventional staem turbine/generating set to produce electricity

∙ 9y agoElectrical energy is the actual electricity that is being used. A generator is used to generate this process, but does not have electricity in itself.
The generator has to be driven by some kind of engine that supplies mechanical energy, usually by rotation of a shaft.

What energy transformations are in a nuclear bomb?
nuclear binding energy to thermal energy
What is the difference between nuclear energy and thermal energy?
Thermal energy is the kinetic energy of the particles, while nuclear energy is the bond energy within the nucleus from strong interaction and weak interaction.
What does nuclear energy transform to?
Nuclear energy transforms to thermal energy (through nuclear fission or nuclear fusion). Thermal energy transforms into kinetic energy (eg produces steam that drives steam turbines). The kinetic energy transforms into electric energy (through electric generators).
Is an oven thermal mechanical chemical electrical nuclear or electromagnetic energy?
It is nuclear energy
How is nuclear energy transformed into thermal energy?
Nuclear Energy is harnessed in Nuclear Reactors by 'fission' reactions which produces heat (thermal energy). In productive applications it is used to heat water to produce steam to rotate turbine and generate electricity by it.
What energy transformations are in a nuclear bomb?
nuclear binding energy to thermal energy
How do you turn nuclear energy into chemical energy?
Nuclear energy is turned into thermal energy, not chemical energy
How does nuclear lose energy?
thermal energy lost
What is the difference between nuclear energy and thermal energy?
Thermal energy is the kinetic energy of the particles, while nuclear energy is the bond energy within the nucleus from strong interaction and weak interaction.
What energy nuclear bomb change?
Nuclear binding energy to thermal energy to blast shock wave energy.
What does nuclear energy transform to?
Nuclear energy transforms to thermal energy (through nuclear fission or nuclear fusion). Thermal energy transforms into kinetic energy (eg produces steam that drives steam turbines). The kinetic energy transforms into electric energy (through electric generators).
What energy used in producing bombs?
nuclear energy (thermal energy)
What increases when an object becomes warmer chemical energy elastic potential energy nuclear energy or thermal energy?
thermal energy
What is thermal pollution a by product of?
nuclear energy
Is an oven thermal mechanical chemical electrical nuclear or electromagnetic energy?
It is nuclear energy
Is thermal energy found in a nuclear reactor?
Yes, that is how the nuclear energy is transferred to the turbine/generator
When does energy transform?
You can transform thermal energy to electrical energy in a power plant, chemical energy to mechanical energy in an internal combustion engine, or nuclear energy into thermal energy in a nuclear reactor. These are just three examples.
