What produces energy for a nuclear power plant?
The energy source for a nuclear power plant is the fissioning of nuclear fuel, which is normally uranium.
Can workers in nuclear power plants be seriously affected by radioactivity in uranium?
In a nuclear power plant (nuclear reactor) the radioactivity of uranium is not a problem in normal work conditions.
How are the nuclear power plant materials separated?
After mining and crushing the (uranium) ore, i think the uranium is dissolved with acid and spun in centrifuges to separate the heavy (more fissible) uranium-235 atoms from the lighter (less fissible) uranium-233 atoms. Highly radioactive material makes for faster chain reactions and more power, and is very dangerous.
What are the fuel sources for nuclear power plant?
Natural uranium has about 0.7 percent U235, this has to be increased to about 4 percent for use in natural water moderated reactors. The obtaining of uranium from mining and refining is described in the document linked below
Why is uranium used in nuclear power plants?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear power plants because the fission of uranium atom release a formidable quantity of energy.
Can a nuclear power plant burn uranium?
A nuclear power plant does use uranium as fuel It "burns" it in the nuclear sense not the chemical sense
What is a nuclearur power plant?
a nuclear power plant produces electricity from uranium 235
What equipment is used in a nuclear power plant?
Uranium
What power plant uses uranium?
The majority of commercial nuclear power reactors use uranium (natural or enriched) as nuclear fuel.
What Power plant that uses uranium as a source of energy?
Uranium (or plutonium) is a source of energy (nuclear fuel) in nuclear power plants.
Is splitting Uranium in a power plant a nuclear change?
Yes
What is the atom of a nuclear power plant?
Uranium is the fuel that is used.
What are the fuel sources for a nuclear power plant?
Natural uranium
Where can you harness uranium?
In a nuclear fission reactor power plant
The energy in uranium is used to make electricity in a nuclear power plant. How is the energy stored in uranium?
in the nucleus
Which is more expensive fuel or uranium?
Uranium is more expensive, but the kWh in a nuclear power plant is more cheaper.
What produces energy for a nuclear power plant?
The energy source for a nuclear power plant is the fissioning of nuclear fuel, which is normally uranium.
