What else can I help you with?
Is silver used in the operation of nuclear power plants?
No, Enriched Uranium-235 is used in a nuclear reactor as the fuel in the fuel rods and boron is used in the control rods.
Which plants create waste that must be stored indefinitely?
Nuclear plants
How many nuclear power plants are presently in the US?
104 operating Nuclear Power units
Does Nuclear fission as used in nuclear power plants produces radioactive waste with long half lives?
yes, Nuclear fission as used in nuclear power plants produces radioactive waste with long half lives. However, this creates no problems. This wastes are either confined in the spent nuclear fuel (that is stored either in wet storage or in dry storage facilities) or stored as vitrified nuclear waste.
How many nuclear power plants are there in flo?
Nuclear power plants in Florida, US are ...Crystal River - one 914 MWe PWRSt Lucie - two 839 MWe PWR'sTurkey Point - two 693 MWe PWR's
What is the percentage of current nuclear power plants that use nuclear fusion energy?
Zero, and it will stay zero for many years to come!
Does nuclear power plants uses nuclear fusion?
No, they rely on fission. Controlled fusion is the holy grail of nuclear power.
Does fusion powers many of your nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fusion is used only in experimental installations.
Where does nuclear fusion occur in a nuclear plant?
Nuclear fusion does not currently occur in nuclear plants. Nuclear plants use nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion reactions, in which atomic nuclei combine to release energy, are not yet used commercially for electricity generation.
Does nuclear fusion provides energy to green plants to grow?
No, nuclear fusion does not directly provide energy to green plants to grow. Green plants rely on photosynthesis, a process that converts sunlight into energy, to grow and produce food. Nuclear fusion is a process that occurs in stars and has the potential to provide a vast source of clean energy for human use.
How is nuclear generation similar to nuclear fusion?
There is very little similarity between present day power plants which use nuclear fission, and any possible nuclear fusion plant of the future
Is a nuclear power plant producing electricity an example of nuclear fusion?
No, a nuclear power plant producing electricity is an example of nuclear fission, not fusion. In nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom is split, releasing energy, whereas in nuclear fusion, atomic nuclei combine to release energy.
Why dont we use nuclear fusion in nuclear power plants?
Because no one has been able to produce a continuous fusion reaction so far.
When is nuclear fission used?
In the operation of nuclear power plants like PWR and BWR
About what percentage of all currently operating nuclear powerplants are of the fusion type?
0%. No one has an operating fusion power plant. Issues of plasma containment have not been solved. We are working on it, but commercial application is 50 to 100 years away, at best - and it is possible that there will never be a viable solution.
What is the difference between cold fusion and what nuclear power plants do to create energy?
Cold fusion is a theoretical nuclear reaction that supposedly occurs at room temperature, while nuclear power plants use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate heat and produce electricity. Cold fusion has not been reliably demonstrated, while nuclear power plants worldwide successfully use fission to generate a significant portion of electricity.
What do nuclear fusion and fission have in common?
Nuclear fusion and fission are both processes that involve releasing energy from the nucleus of an atom. They can both produce large amounts of energy and are used in nuclear power plants.
