yes, but not directly.

The nuclear power will produce electricity and/or hydrogen. The car can run by electricity and/or hydrogen (as gas, liquid, or solid metal hydride).

That is not exactly true. A car could indeed run on nuclear power. The fuel cell for an aircraft carrier is about the size of a dime. Auto fuel cells could be pin sized fuel rods that could be sold separately and changed as you moved from car to car.

The technology for a safe and viable method for doing this is feasible and doable. The issue would be to move away from fear based technology into one that looked for safe solutions to our energy needs. The only issue that holds back this technology would be the fear factor of individuals and fossil fuel companies.

What nuclear power plant did E. James Ferland run?

Millstone Nuclear Power Station


If something is nuclear power does it run out of energy?

No, nuclear power does not run out of energy like fossil fuels do. Nuclear power plants generate electricity by using uranium or thorium as fuel, which undergoes a process called nuclear fission to produce energy. As long as there is fuel available and the plant is properly maintained, nuclear power can continue to generate electricity indefinitely.


Is there a better alternative if fossil fuels run out?

yes nuclear power


How does nulclear power work?

Nuclear power produces heat, used to make steam to run generators.


How many employees does it need to run a nuclear power plant?

about 10 people


Is generator used in nuclear or solar energy?

Generators are nearly always used for nuclear power, and sometimes used for solar power. In nuclear power plants, the reactor makes steam to run a generator. Much of solar produced electricity does not use a generator, but produces power through a photovoltaic effect. Concentrated solar can be used to make steam to run a generator.


What do power plant generators run on?

The vast majority run on fossil fuels. There are also nuclear, wind, hydro power stations or plants. In some places there are geothermal power plants.


How much does it cost to run a nuclear power station?

its actually fifty million moolah


Do any power plant today run run on nuclear fusion why or why not?

No, because the highest amount of energy needed in a nuclear fusion is 40,000,000 K, which is only known to occur on the sun.


How can you produce energy in future by nuclear power plant if there is no source?

The source of nuclear power is the nucleus of an atom; any atom. As long as there is mass in the universe there will be a source of nuclear power. Even if in the future we run out of the radioactive material we currently use to fuel nuclear power plants, it would be foolish to assume that we will never again be able to harness nuclear energy in another way.


What normal household objects use nuclear force to run?

No normal household objects use nuclear force to run. Nuclear force is typically only used in nuclear power plants or atomic bombs where atomic nuclei are split or combined to release energy.


How many power plants are in France?
