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.


The nucleus of an atom can store what kind of energy?

The nucleus of an atom can store potential energy, which is released when nuclear reactions occur, such as fission or fusion. This energy is harnessed in nuclear power plants or in nuclear weapons.


Is nuclear power biodegradable?

Power is consumed and converted from one form to another form, and in the process, "work" is done. No form of power is "biodegradable." The question actually has no meaning. It is rather like asking "is love biodegradable?" Love is an abstract human creation that although it may have physical manifestations, has no way to be biodegraded. Such is the case with power - any kind of power.


What kind of equipment is used to collect nuclear energy?

Nuclear energy is primarily collected through the use of nuclear power plants, which use nuclear reactors to generate electricity. These reactors contain fuel rods made of uranium or plutonium that undergo controlled nuclear fission reactions to produce heat. The heat is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators to create electricity.


What kind of positive things does nuclear power plants cure?

Nuclear power plants help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, providing a low-carbon source of energy. They also contribute to energy security by providing a reliable and consistent electricity supply. Additionally, nuclear power plants can create jobs and stimulate economic growth in areas where they are located.
