What is Nuclear Energy used for

Nuclear Energy in all countries around the world is used mainly for energy, but because it is so hard to create and stabilize it is uncommon. For example France is run 80 percent by Nuclear Energy which is a good thing because it destroys the need for natural gas. Also unlike the other forms of energy, Nuclear energy gives of no co2 or any pollution into the atmosphere. Also through out the world there are many nuclear powered boats, the United States Navy has the most of them out of the world when it comes to aircraft carriers. But when it comes to vessels of war the Russians have all off them because the U.S stopped all the use of Nuclear Powered vessels.

How is Nuclear Energy Harnessed

When the Nucleus undergoes fission and fusion it gives of lots of heat. Due to most of the elements being unstable the experiments must direct their heat into water. After they mix the radiated water with clean water, this process gives of steam. They then use the steam to run turbines or wheels that then power generators and engines, and they finally use the engines to create electricity that can be used as perfectly sustainable energy.

How is Nuclear Energy made

Nuclear energy is created when a nuclear reaction takes place. This happens through the process of nuclear fission, which is the splitting of the nuclei of atom, and nuclear fusion, which is the joining of the nuclei of two atoms. Nuclear fission is the kind of process that is used for electricity and generators run by nuclear energy, and just a fun fact nuclear electricity provides 6 percent of the worlds energy. However nuclear fusion is used for things different than electricity for example nuclear fusion is used to create hydrogen bombs.
