Best Answer

A nuclear powered submarine uses nuclear power for propulsion and all other on-board activities that need power, like lighting, cooking and computers.

This applies on all voyages not just in the Gulf of Mexico.

What is an example of the transfer from nuclear energy to mechanical energy?

Nuclear energy is used to boil water in order to produce steam. The steam is used to drive a turbine that can either be mechanically hooked up, i.e. the propeller on a nuclear submarine, or the turbine can be linked to a generator which then powers an electric motor.


What are the means of delivery of nuclear weapons?

The primary means of delivery of nuclear weapons is by missile, either from a land based missile silo, or from a submarine. However, they can also be dropped from planes (like conventional bombs) or smuggled into a target zone as luggage, if security measures are sufficiently lax. Even nuclear artillery shells exist.


Explain why nuclear power does little to address your largest energy shortfalls?

Nuclear power can only supply electricity from large power plants, it can't replace gasoline and diesel used for surface transport or kerosene used for aircraft. If the shortfall is in oil derived products, nuclear therefore does not help. If electric cars and trucks are developed then nuclear can provide the energy to keep them charged though.


How does the US get most of their energy?

For electricity, most from coal power stations (49 percent), natural gas (16 percent), and nuclear (19 percent). For transport, from oil.


Properties of images formed by a periscope?

A periscope can be raised and lowered depending on the depth of a submarine. Periscopes are like a small telescope that can be rotated to take in a 360 degree view of the submarine's surroundings. Periscopes have to be lowered before the submarine is submerged. Periscopes in nuclear submarines are now able to take pictures of surroundings.
