Concept explainers
To determine: The reason for nuclear fission probably never be used directly for powering automobiles and the method by which it is used indirectly.
Answer:
The nuclear fission probably never be used directly for powering automobiles because of safety issues, and it is used indirectly by converting it into electrical energy.
Explanation:
The nuclear energy includes the energy produced by either fusion or fission of atomic nuclei. Both the fission and fusion processes produces
However, there is a method by which nuclear energy can be used for powering is converting it into electrical energy and then using electrical energy for powering automobiles.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the nuclear fission probably never be used directly for powering automobiles because of safety issues, and it is used indirectly by converting it into electrical energy.
