Name the process used to harness nuclear energy these days. explain it briefly. list two advantages of using nuclear energy in place of fossil fuels.
Answers
Hey mate!
I am here with your answer!
Nuclear fission process is used to harness nuclear energy these days. The fission of an atom of uranium, for example, produces 10 million times the energy produced by the combustion of an atom of carbon from coal.
Hope this will help you!
The process used to harness nuclear energy nowadays is nuclear fission which involves splitting of uranium atoms.
Nuclear fission is a process which involves the nucleus and is associated with radioactive decay, in which the nucleus of a given atom splits into lighter and smaller nuclei.
Two advantages of using nuclear energy instead of fossil fuels are:
1. Reduction of greenhouse
emissions,therefore helping in reduction of global warming as there's no burning of fuels.
2. Nuclear energy is a renewable source of energy unlike fossils fuels which are non-renewable and get depleted with continous usage.
