A radoiactive element often used in nuclear power stations?
Uranium 235 Plutonium
A radioactive element often used in nuclear power stations?
Uranium 235 or Plutonium 239
What is a radioactive element often used in nuclear power stations means?
Uranium. Most current power reactors use Uranium enriched to 3% Uranium-235.
A radioactive element often used in nuclear power sations?
I think you mean Uranium /U/.
Where does fuel for power stations come from?
Presuming you mean fuel that is burned, coal, oil and gas come from underground mines and wells. Some experimental or small scale stations burn rubbish or biomass such as elephant grass grown for the purpose. Nuclear stations don't burn anything, but their raw material is often called fuel. This is often uranium, which is also mined.
What element if often enriched and used in nuclear bombs?
Uranium is enriched in the isotope uranium-235, producing uranium-238 as waste.
What is the origin of the element named sulfur?
all mass was created in the big bang It is often found near or around volcanoes. The element of sulphur was created during nuclear fusion in a star like our Sun.
How often do gas stations get gasoline?
As often as they need to.
Is uranium a nutrient?
No, Uranium is a rare-ish element whose radioactive isotope is often used in nuclear reactors. ingestion of radioactive elements can result in death
What is an sythetic element?
Synthetic elements are those elements that are not naturally occurring on earth, but rather have been synthesized in a nuclear reactor. They are often radioactive with short halflifes.
What are the ways in which power stations can be powered?
Power turbines are driven by steam. Steam can be raised by thermal, nuclear or geothermal processes. Wind and water can also drive a generator. The auxiliaries for a power station (which I think is what this question is asking) are typically powered by step down transformers within the power station. In nuclear power stations there are often standby-critical supplies which are driven by gas turbines or diesel generators.
What is often used to the quality of a broadcast?
Receiver Stations
