If nuclear energy is changed into another form of energy in the boiler what type of energy is this?

A nuclear reaction will liberate large amounts of heat energy. This heat is used to heat water in the boilers to produce steam. Note: Nuclear energy isn't changed into heat in the boiler. Nuclear energy generates heat in the reactor core where fission occurs. The heat is transferred into the primary coolant there. The primary coolant, which is circulated by pumps, transfers heat to turn secondary water into steam in the steam generators (boilers). From there the steam is sent down the steam lines to drive turbines.

What source of energy produces radioactive waste?
Nuclear Energy
Which characteristic best describes how nuclear decay differs from nuclear fission?
Energy
What are the pros and cons of using Nuclear energy?
The kWh produced by nuclear energy is the cheapest. It is a clean energy that does not pollute the environment. It gives chance for people to work during its construction and operation. It is reliable source of energy.
What are radioactive wastes a byproduct of?
A+ Nuclear energy
Radioactive wastes are a byproduct of?
A+ Nuclear energy
What is the process of changing energy?
An energy change is when one form of energy changes to another form of energy. E.g chemical to kinetic.
How is nuclear energy changed into electrical energy in a nuclear power plant?
Steam from the heat of the reactor.
What is changed in fireworks to create nuclear and chemical energy?
Fireworks certainly don't involve nuclear energy!
What is nuclear energy first changed to in a Power Plant?
Thermal energy
What energy transformations occur nuclear power plant?
As atoms break and forming elements having more binding energy per nucleon heat energy is released. Hence nuclear energy gets changed into heat energy Right from heat energy mechanical energy is produced This mechanical energy in the presence of magnetic field gets changed into electrical energy. So nuclear ---> heat ---> mechanical ----> electrical
Fission and fusion is an example of what kind of energy?
One type of atom (element or isotope) is converted to another. This is called nuclear reaction.
When energy is used it is?
Changed from one form to another - energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only be changed from one form to another.
What does the stars have to do with nuclear energy?
Because the process whereby the star produces energy is nuclear fusion, hydrogen becomes helium with release of energy
What is the explanation for the principle of conservation of matter?
Matter cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be changed from one form to another. However, Einstein and other scientists have shown us that matter and energy are interchangeable. Matter is changed into energy in the sun and in other nuclear reactions, (E = mc2).
What happens to wasted energy from a boiler?
the energy wasted by the system(boiler) is gained by the surrounding atmosphere
In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water into steam?
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
Nothing can be divided or distroyed?
The total quantity of energy in the universe cannot be destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another. Matter is a compacted form of energy thus it can be created or destroyed as matter (nuclear fusion or fission) but the energy doesn't change.
