1. How is this energy converted/transferred into usable energy?

First, heat is generated by nuclear fission. Next, the carbon dioxide/water is pumped to make hot water into steam. After the steam then drives the turbine to work. Finally, turbines and generators use the same conventional power house.

2. How is this type of energy used today?

Some types of nuclear energy used products are powering a submarine and it runs power plants.

3. What are the advantages of using this source of energy?
 * not expensive
 * does not contribute to the greenhouse effect; no smoke or carbon dioxide is produced
 * produces huge amounts of energy from little amounts of fuel
 * small waste is produced
 * reliable source

4. What are the disadvantages of using this source of energy?
 * dangerous; sealed&buried for thousands of years for radioactivity to die down
 * lots of money spent on safety
 * nuclear disaster; major

5. Is this energy source renewable or non-renewable?

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">It is non-renewable; once the uranium is finished, there is no more
