Why is Uranium used as the energy source for nuclear power plants?
because the radiation of the uranium heats up and powers the turbine that creates the power
Radioactive metal used in nuclear power plants?
I think it is uranium
What mineral is highly reactive and is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants?
Uranium is a highly reactive mineral that is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using uranium as a fuel?
Uranium is very important as a nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants. But uranium is toxic and radioactive.
What element is uesd in nuclear power plants?
Uranium
What does Nuclear energy use?
Nuclear energy as applied to power plants uses uranium, which can be made to produce a chain reaction in which atoms of uranium are constantly splitting and releasing energy in the form of heat. The heat is then used to produce electricity through a steam turbine/generator.
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.
How is uranium used in a power plant?
Yes, they import it and put it in the reactor core where rods slow down the energy given off then it turns a generator which creates power
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.
Where can you find nuclear energy source?
In most nuclear plants this is uranium-235
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
How is uranium used as a resource?
The energy of fission from uranium is transformed in electricity or heat in nuclear power plants.
What is uranium used for in Somalia?
Somalia hasn't power nuclear reactors, research nuclear reactors, research institutes for nuclear energy, uranium mines and any plants or laboratories linked to uranium.
How uranium is used in producing electricity?
Uranium fission release an enormous quantity of energy. Uranium is a fuel for nuclear power plants.
What is nuclear used to produce?
Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms – a process called fission. This generates heat to produce steam, which is used by a turbine generator to generate electricity. Because nuclear power plants do not burn fuel, they do not produce greenhouse gas emissions.
How is electricity created from uranium?
When uranium is brought together in sufficient quantities, the radiation it naturally gives off produces a chain reaction (in which the nuclear particles produces by the breakdown of uranium nuclei interact with other nuclei and cause them to break down as well). This reaction produces a tremendous amount of heat as a by-product. This heat is used to heat a quantity of water, and the resulting steam drives turbines which produce electricity.
Most nuclear power plants use what atoms to make nuclear energy?
Heat, which is used to produce steam, which is used to turn a steam turbine-powered generator, which is used to produce electricity.
