Japan has few Natural Resources. They have to generate their electricity from imported fuels, primarily fossil (petrochemical) fuels. The nuclear reactor is an option to the use of fossil fuels to generate heat to generate electric power, and for Japan, an island nation, it was one that came with acceptable risks.

What process do nuclear reactors use?
Nuclear reactors use nuclear fission.
Is Hawaii in danger of radiation from the nuclear reactors in Japan?
No, Hawaii is currently not in danger of radiation from the incidents involving the nuclear reactors in Japan.
What nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
Where do you use nuclear energy?
In nuclear fission reactors
How many nuclear reactors does japan have?
Before the Fukushima Daiichi Disaster, there were 54 operational nuclear reactors in Japan. Three of those melted down, and one had problems that rendered it inoperable. The government has decided the other two reactors at Fukushima Daiichi cannot be restarted. Also, as other reactors have been shut down for maintenance or refueling, they have not been restarted, with the result that now, in early December 2011, only eight Japanese reactors remain in operation.
The use of nuclear reactors to generate electricity is?
The use of nuclear energy
What caused the nuclear reactor to begin to melt down in japan?
the cause of the melt down of the reactors in japan is the water that is needed to cool down the reactors
Why does Japan have many nuclear reactors?
The reason for having many reactors is because you can produce more electrical energy from them. Also Japan use BWR type reactors(Boiling Water Reactor) which are not as efficent as a more commonly used PWR reactor(Pressurized Water Reactor).
How are nuclear reactors used in nuclear reactors?
Nuclear reactors use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate heat, which is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. The heat is produced in the reactor core where nuclear fuel rods containing uranium or plutonium undergo fission reactions. The reactor's cooling system helps regulate the temperature and prevent overheating.
What is the use of nuclear reactors?
To produce electricity
What is the same between nuclear and breeder reactors?
They all use nuclear fission
What do you use the power from a nuclear reacter for in minecraft?
Minecraft doesn't have nuclear reactors.
