Where is nuclear energy being used now?

Answer 1

All around the world! In the United States alone there are 104 nuclear reactors producing around 20% of our electricity. Large power reactors are used to produce electricity for the public. Smaller reactors are used to make radioisotopes for medical treatments and for research into physics. Naval reactors provide propulsion for submarines and ships.

Answer 2

Nuclear energy is used as a source of heat. The heat from the reactor is used to heat up water and the steam moves a turbine that generates electricity. It's the same principal with a coal power plant, only the source of heat is different.

Answer 3

Around 15% of the worlds electricity comes from nuclear power. France gets almost 80% of their electricity from nuclear power plants!

Some ships currently use nuclear propulsion, and there have been tests for use in spacecrafts as well.

Answer 4

Nuclear energy is being used in a number of countries around the world, including the United States, France, China, and Russia. These countries have nuclear power plants that generate electricity through nuclear fission reactions.

Answer 5

USA, Canada, UK, France, Russia, Japan, South Africa, Czech Republic, Ukraine

Not sure...Spain, Germany, China, India,

Answer 6

Nuclear energy is just another way of producing electricity via a nuclear reactor.

Answer 7

In producing electricity, mainly PWR and BWR type reactors, with some Candu and AGR types.

Answer 8

To produce electricity
