Nuclear power plants are built under commercial arrangements-the power company will borrow capital from banks and repay interest from the sales of electricity. The snag might be after the end of life-who is going to pay for the decommissioning? In the UK costs are being borne by government and I guess this also applies in the US.
Other costs are of course borne by the military out of taxation.
The source of nuclear energy comes from the process of nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts, releasing a large amount of energy. This energy is harnessed to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.
In a nuclear fission reaction, the energy comes from the splitting of atomic nuclei.
No, not all energy is nuclear. Energy exists in many forms, such as electrical, chemical, thermal, kinetic, and potential energy. Nuclear energy is a specific type of energy generated from nuclear reactions in the nucleus of atoms.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulates all civilian nuclear facilities in the United States to ensure they operate safely and securely.
Some people object to nuclear plants due to concerns over safety, such as the risk of accidents and potential radiation exposure. Additionally, there are worries about the long-term storage of nuclear waste and the possibility of nuclear proliferation from the use of nuclear technology.
Almost all of the profits come from advertising.
No, because what if all of the money is and we cannot get anymore.
Yes, the majority of the uses of the word nuclear do come from physical science.
No one should have nuclear weapons! I agree they cause nothing but problems. All they do is grant people power to kill and strike fear in the world. There is nothing good that can come from nuclear weapons.

nucleus, of course. that's why its called nuclear.
I should think nuclear war would cause all sorts of degradation. But one of the results would be contamination of the land with nuclear fall out which would be long lasting and affect generations to come.
LOL. It used to come from your taxes, but that has all been spent, so now we just print more money, so it comes out of a machine!
Nuclear fusion
It is short for Nuclear.
