Why can't spent nuclear rods be reused since they have to be cooled for months at a time why not use heat to make energy?

Because of the mass amount of radiation they give off. We take these rods and put them into tank shells so they pierce any armor.

How is water used in nuclear energy?
When nuclear fission occurs, it heats up water which turns into steam. This steam turns a turbine, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The steam is what you see coming out of the towers of a nuclear power plant. Most of the steam actually condensates before it escapes so it can be reused again to turn the turbine.
What is wasteful energy transfer?
wasteful energy is energy that is niot uyse and cannot be used again, it is also unuseable to be reused. Wasteful energy is energy that is also energy that can not be use over and over, :), the way energy works is the way it works, but sine energy doesnt want to work or be reused. :O
Can electrical energy be depleted?
No, electric energy cannot be depleted, electricity produced when used is given off as waste energy, the lost energy is then increasingly spread out into the surrondings, it cannot be reused or destroyed.
What is the energy that can be used and reused an infinite number of times?
Water power, wind power, solar power
What Physical laws state that you can recycle?
Matter can be reused over and over but not energy. It is never created or destroyed but energy only flows in one direction. lol ;p trololololol
Where is nuclear fuel reused?
France
Energy that can be used and reused an infinite number of times?
A kind of energy that can be used and reused any number of times.

Why is it important to use energy?
It's not energy can be recycled and reused
Can geothermal energy be reused or recycled?
yes
Why is it important to use energy carefully?
It's not energy can be recycled and reused
Is nuclear a non-renewable resource?
Yes! It uses uranium which is a substance that cant be reused.
Can the waste of nuclear energy be reused?
some:The plutonium and other transuranics can be recycled. They make excellent reactor fuel.The unburned uranium can be recycled.Many of the fission products could be separated for industrial and medical uses.
How is energy transferred through a food web and food chain using law of conversation of energy?
In a food chain and food web the energy is getting reused by the next level so the energy is not being created or distorted, just reused.
What is wasteful energy transfer?
wasteful energy is energy that is niot uyse and cannot be used again, it is also unuseable to be reused. Wasteful energy is energy that is also energy that can not be use over and over, :), the way energy works is the way it works, but sine energy doesnt want to work or be reused. :O
Energy resources that cannot be reused after they are used?
mechanical law
What does a recovery boiler do?
It recovers the energy in the chemicals and the chemicals themselves, which can then be reused.
