How does decommissioning affect the overall cost of electricity generated using nuclear fuels?
Decommissioning can increase the cost of electricity generated using nuclear fuels, as it involves dismantling and cleaning up the retired nuclear plant, managing radioactive waste, and restoring the site. These decommissioning costs are significant and must be factored into the overall cost of nuclear energy generation. Proper planning and funds set aside for decommissioning can help mitigate the impact on electricity costs.
How much energy can nuclear power use if it was in the world?
I think you must mean how much energy can nuclear power supply , not use, and it is in the world-where else? In the US there are about 100 nuclear reactors and they supply about 20 percent of the nation's electricity
How are nuclear power plants different from other plants?
Nuclear power plants generate electricity through nuclear fission reactions, while other traditional power plants typically use fossil fuels like coal, oil, or natural gas. Nuclear plants produce energy by splitting atoms, creating heat to generate steam which drives a turbine to produce electricity. This process does not release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, but it does produce radioactive waste that must be managed carefully.
How its nuclear energy produce and how its distributed?
it depends, where. The sun or the factory. The facories uses nuclear fission. This means they split atoms, usually uranium. Then it heats up quickly. The factory must use water to cool it down. The steam turns turbines to make energy. If they are not enough water, then there will be a melt down. In the sun. It uses nuclear fusion. This means it combines atoms together. this happens in the core. then energy is radiated to the convection zone, then the energy reaches the surface and radiates its energy in to space.
What must happen for nuclear reactor to make electricity?
a chain reaction
How is uranium used in your daily lives?
A part of the electricity reaching our homes can be produced in a nuclear power plant.You must not forget it.
What kind of electricity is caused by a continuous flow of electricity?
Current electricity is the kind of electricity that is caused by a continuous flow of electricity. In order for this to happen there must be a voltage present across a conductor, for example in overhead power lines.
What must move in a coil of wire to make electricity?
A conductor
How does it produce energy?
France relies largely on nuclear power plants to provide its electricity. It does not have significant uranium resources, meaning it must purchase its uranium from other countries. France, nevertheless, decided to take the jump to nuclear and now produces 70% of its electricity from nuclear reactors, using its 59 nuclear reactors. It also sells power to adjacent countries.
Why is electricity a secondary energy source?
another source of energy must be used to make electricity

What has to happen to the raw materials before it can be used to generate electricity?
It must be burnt and then compressed to get all of the useful energy out. Then the energy let out is measured in joules and used for electricity.
What will happen with no electricity?
At some point in your life you must have lived through a power failure. Without electricity this is what your life would be like year after year. Very inconvenient.
Where does electricity happens?
Electricity does not 'happen' it is induced by a potential difference of electrons. But materials in which electrons may drift, and hence an electrical current can flow, must have delocalised electrons.
Is nuclear energy good for humans and the environment?
Nuclear energy provides electricity which is good for humans, and for the environment it does not produce greenhouse gases, so that is good. However it has dangers too, so must be well controlled
How is nuclear energy is useful?
NUCLEAR DEBATE 1)Proponents of nuclear energy assert that nuclear power is a compact, reliable sustainable energy source that reduces carbon emissions and increases energy security. Proponents highlight that nuclear energy's operational safety record is already very good when compared to other major power plant technologies. They claim that the risks of waste and other environmental impacts are small compared to other sources of electricity and can be further reduced by improved technology in new reactors. 2)Mainly to produce electricity. Also to produce radio-isotopes for medical and industrial use 3)The two "basic types" of nuclear energy are based on fission and fussion. Fission is basically atom splitting. Fusion is the forcing together of nuclei and causing them to fuse, to stick together, and to form a new nucleus. In both nuclear reactions, a lot of heat is generated. The reactions can be set up to occur "really fast" and release energy all at one. This the idea behind the nuclear weapons. There is another idea. Because the primary useful energy released in nuclear reactions is heat, that heat can be captured to do useful work. At present, we can't do any "controlled fusion" and capture heat to generate electric power. But we can use fission to our advantage to make heat to boil water to generate steam to turn a turbine to turn a generator and make electricity. And we do this pretty well.
