Nuclear energy, ultimately, comes from the Sun. If you are talking about nuclear energy and weapons as currently available, we get Uranium from the Earth, as it is a naturally occurring element and refine it from 238U to 235U, making it more fissile. Other fissile elements, such as 239Pu come from reactors, so the 235U, comes first.

How can humans save nuclear energy?

Humans can save nuclear energy by improving safety measures, investing in research for new reactor technologies, and promoting sustainable nuclear fuel recycling. Additionally, ensuring proper disposal of nuclear waste and increasing public education on the benefits of nuclear energy could help promote its use as a clean energy source.


What wrong with nuclear energy?

Nuclear energy has the potential risks of accidents, such as meltdowns or leaks that can have severe consequences for both humans and the environment. There is also the issue of nuclear waste disposal, as it remains radioactive and hazardous for thousands of years. Additionally, nuclear energy production can be expensive and faces challenges around public perception and acceptance.


Is radiation good for nuclear energy?

Radiation is used in nuclear energy to generate heat through fission reactions in the reactor core. This heat is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. While radiation can be harnessed for the production of nuclear energy, it is important to control and manage it to prevent harmful exposure to humans and the environment.


Is fission nuclear energy chemical energy or mechanical energy?

Nuclear fission is a type of nuclear reaction that converts nuclear energy into thermal energy (heat), which can then be used to generate mechanical energy (such as electricity). So, fission nuclear energy originates as nuclear energy and can be converted into mechanical energy.


What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?

The energy stored in an atom's nucleus is nuclear energy. This energy is released through processes like nuclear fusion or fission, which involve manipulating the nucleus of an atom to release large amounts of energy.

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


What are two sources of energy humans have access to?

Nuclear power, solar power.


How are nuclear reactors useful?

They produce electrical energy. Humans need a lot of that.


Can nuclear energy be used everywhere?

Yes. There are virtually no physical limitations to where nuclear power can be used. Nuclear reactors have already been used on land, air and sea... and submerged and in space. Not only we humans use nuclear energy, but it is the primary source of energy in natural processess in the world too. Life on earth depends on the sun's energy, which in part is produced by nuclear fusion in the heart of the star.


Why do scientists believe that nuclear energy will be important in the future to humans?

Because we will eventually run out of natural resources

Is nuclear harmful to people?

I'm pretty sure nuclear has a bad affect on humans. It really depends on what you mean by Nuclear. If you mean Nuclear Energy, no. It is vital. If you mean Nuclear Waste, yes. It is deadly. If you mean the Nucleus of an atom. It is part you you.
