What is the main objection to the widespread production of nuclear energy?

this may or may not be true but my opinion is that people are afraid of nuclear disasters suchas the ones that took place in chernoble, kyshtym, windscale fire, &Tokaimura. They all had nuclear accidents and many people believe more people died than the ones 'recorded' dead as a result of the toxic exposure.......you should look them up.


Why nuclear energy comprises only six percent?

Nuclear energy provides only about 6% of the world's power (14% of the world' electricity) because it is expensive, at least in the short term; people are afraid of it; people (sometimes deliberately) misunderstand the (environmental) consequences of not using it; and there is concern that nuclear reactors could be used to generate weapons grade material. There are other reasons, but these are the highlights.


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.
