15 Νοε 2022 · Nuclear energy is a form of energy released from the nucleus, the core of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons. This source of energy can be produced in two ways: fission – when nuclei of atoms split into several parts – or fusion – when nuclei fuse together.
By definition, nuclear energy refers to the combined potential energy that binds nucleons to form the atomic nucleus. Nuclear energy comes either from spontaneous nuclei conversions or induced nuclei conversions.
10 Δεκ 2009 · Nuclear energy is a way of obtaining electricity by harnessing the energy stored in the nuclei of atoms. In nuclear power plants, a process called nuclear fission takes place, in which the nuclei of atoms such as uranium are divided into smaller parts.
28 Σεπ 2024 · Nuclear energy, energy that is released in significant amounts in processes that affect atomic nuclei, the dense cores of atoms. One method of releasing nuclear energy is by controlled nuclear fission, used in nuclear power plants around the world.
24 Ιουν 2020 · The detection confirms decades-old theoretical predictions that some of the Sun’s energy is made by a chain of reactions involving carbon and nitrogen nuclei.
Nuclear fusion occurs when two nuclei combine to form a single nucleus, releasing massive amounts of heat with no long-lived radioactive waste (the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor). See our Nuclear Fusion page for more information.
19 Οκτ 2023 · Nuclear energy can be used to create electricity, but it must first be released from the atom. In the process of nuclear fission, atoms are split to release that energy. A nuclear reactor, or power plant, is a series of machines that can control nuclear fission to produce electricity.
