In a nuclear plant, the thermal energy from the fissioning atoms is used to heat water around the fuel rods. This hot water is converted to steam which is used to turn turbines and generate electricity.

∙ 13y agoUsually, nuclear energy, the energy of the fission or fusion of atoms, is converted to heat energy. Perhaps the simplest way to harvest it is to use it to boil water, and use the steam to drive turbines.

How is nuclear energy recovered from the ground?
By mining uranium ore
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.
Nuclear energy is energy?
Yes, nuclear energy is energy.
How is wind energy recovered?
It is recovered by making windmills
How is nuclear energy recovered from the ground?

How was Solar energy recovered?
it wasn't recovered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where the wind energy source is found and how it is recovered?
Wind energy is recovered by changing wind energy to electricity
What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?
If it is stored in the nucleus, it must be nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy is energy?
Yes, nuclear energy is energy.
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
How is wind energy recovered?
It is recovered by making windmills
Is nuclear energy a chemical energy?
The energy released is nuclear energy.
What is Uranium energy used for?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.
How is tidal energy recovered?
by the earth
