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.
Is a nuclear power plant producing electricity an example of nuclear fusion?
yes. this is because nuclear power plants use nuclear fusion
Does fusion powers many of your nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fusion is used only in experimental installations.
Does nuclear fusion provides energy to green plants to grow?
Nuclear fusion (converting hydrogen-1 to helium-4), in the Sun. This is what powers the Sun.
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
Why dont we use nuclear fusion in nuclear power plants?
Because no one has been able to produce a continuous fusion reaction so far.
What is the potential use of nuclear fusion by humans?
Nuclear fusion is used in some nuclear power plants that can handle the heat and radiation without suffering a meltdown. You should check out nuclear fission in power plants first.
When is nuclear fission used?
In the operation of nuclear power plants like PWR and BWR
What does nuclear energy include?
Mostly power plants operating with fission reactors. Also experiments with nuclear fusion, and nuclear weapons
How do you use fission and fusion in a nuclear power plant?
We don't yet know how to use fusion in a power plant. All nuclear power plants use fission only. Fusion is much harder, but will be better if we can figure it out.
What does energy includes?
Mostly power plants operating with fission reactors. Also experiments with nuclear fusion, and nuclear weapons
