What are the current sources for plutonium?
The source of plutonium is the reprocessing of "burned" nuclear reactors fuels.
Where has the technetium present in the world's environment come from?
The source of technetium in the environment are nuclear fuels reprocessing plants.
What has the author Gordon R Thompson written?
Gordon R. Thompson has written: 'Evidence to the Windscale Inquiry on the safety assessment of nuclear fuel reprocessing, storage and ancillary activities' -- subject(s): British Nuclear Fuels, British Nuclear Fuels. Windscale and Calder Works
Where plutonium foun d?
Plutonium is found in the nature only as ultra-traces accompanying uranium minerals. Plutonium is obtained in industrial quantities in the nuclear reactors technology, by reprocessing of the burned nuclear fuels.
Synthesis of americium?
The prncipal nuclear reaction to obtain americium is: 239Pu---------(n,γ)------ 240Pu---------(n,γ)------ 241Pu ---------(β-)------241Am Americium is a by-product of nuclear fuels burn-up and can be extracted (with many difficulties and costs) from these irradiated fuels in reprocessing plants.
How nuclear fuels can be use to generate electricity?
Nuclear fissions in nuclear fuels generate heat and electricity.
What are the advances of burning fossil fuels over nuclear fuels?
Nuclear fuels are extremely dangerous and the station could explode.

Which fuels does not emit water vapor?
For example, nuclear fuels.
What chemical reaction fuels the sun?
Fusion is the type of nuclear reaction that fuels your solar system.
