It does can be produced because my banana said so.

∙ 12y agoMost nuclear energy is collected in the form of heat. The heat flashes water to steam, which spins turbines, which in turn powers electric generators, which generates electricity, which is converted to high voltage and is transmitted to the power transmission grid for distribution to the various consumers.

∙ 12y agoAccording to the University of Michigan, after coal, nuclear energy is the second largest source of electrical power in the United States. Nuclear energy is delivered to homes and businesses by converting it to electrical energy.

∙ 13y agoNuclear energy is obtained by using the heat generated by a controlled fission reaction (chain reaction). The heat is then used nearly identically to conventional power plants, usually creating steam that turns a turbine connected to a generator.
Uranium rods are arranged in the reactor core so that they reach a critical mass, but the reaction is not allow to cascade as in atomic bombs. The neutron release is balanced and the substantial heat energy from the core is absorbed by circulating water. Above the water, there are turbines, machines that are turned by steam from the water. These power large generators similar to those in hydroelectric plants, creating electricity from the energy spinning the turbines. The water cools and circulates back to the reactor.
Used-up or "spent" uranium contains radioactive waste elements created in the chain reaction, or from the materials of the core. These include radioactive isotopes of strontium, selenium, tin, iodine, and technetium that must be stored away for hundreds or thousands of years until they have decayed to safer forms.

It's more or less shoved up every orifice; generated at low levels from petroleum operations, snuck into consumer goods, Coast Guard deals on the table for radioactive materials to be shipped into the US by water, and other US interests are completing legislation for rail ingress. As well as coming in the Pacific Ocean.
Then there is the power, and all of the waste associated with that; which must be also considered for their long-lasting effects directly related to 'nuclear energy.'
================================
Answer #2:
Answer #1 uses the question as an opportunity to grind some of the axes that clutter his personal agenda, and ultimately evades the presentation of any answer at all.
Neither the Coast Guard, nor the railroads, nor any Pacific Ocean shipment
delivers radioactive materials to consumers.
Where nuclear energy is delivered to consumers, it's invariably used to generate
electrical energy first, which is then delivered to the end-user by means of wires
and cables. When the consumer plugs his toaster or his computer into a wall outlet
in his home, he has no way to tell whether the energy that he uses originated as
solar, coal, oil, geothermal, natural gas, nuclear, tidal, hydro, or wind energy.

How is nuclear energy stored once it has been recovered?
Nuclear energy is not directly stored in the traditional sense. Instead, it is converted into electricity and then stored in the electrical grid for distribution to consumers. In some cases, excess electricity generated by nuclear power plants can be stored using other energy storage systems like batteries or pumped hydro storage.
What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?
If it is stored in the nucleus, it must be nuclear energy.
What are some examples of energy sources?
During photosynthesis, a plant - whcih is a producer - absorbs light energy from the sun and converts it into glucose, which is what the plant uses for energy. Some of the energy that the plant made may be released into the atmosphere as heat, some will be eaten by insects and other herbovores, which are called primary consumers. Secondary consumers may eat the primary consumers, getting energy from eating them. Consumers get energy by eating other consumers or producers.
Nuclear energy is energy?
Yes, nuclear energy is energy.
How much money does nuclear energy save people?
Nuclear plants are expensive to build but cheaper to run than fossil fuelled plants. Overall the cost delivered to consumers is much the same
How is nuclear fission delivered to consumers?
Nuclear fission is not delivered to consumers. The end result of nuclear fission is delivered to consumers. Nuclear fission is used to release excess nuclear energy (excess residual binding energy) in the fission of (usually) uranium-235, generating heat which flashes water to steam, which spins turbines, which turns generators, which makes electricity, which is delivered to consumers.
How do you use nuclear energy safely for longer time?
By having a reasonable distance between the nuclear reactor and the consumers. For example, 150 million kilometers should be relatively safe.

How are diamonds transported?
Diamonds are transported very securely and very secretly, whether by diamond brokers, dealers or consumers.

Nuclear energy is energy?
Yes, nuclear energy is energy.
When was Consumers Energy created?
Consumers Energy was created in 1886.
What is it when energy is released through fission or fusion?
Nuclear energy
Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
Is nuclear energy a chemical energy?
The energy released is nuclear energy.
