CANDU burns natural unenriched uranium.
Fusion reactors produce less radioactive waste compared to fission reactors. Fusion reactors use abundant sources such as deuterium and lithium for fuel, while fission reactors use limited sources like uranium. Fusion reactions release more energy per unit mass of fuel compared to fission reactions.
Arc reactors, commonly seen in science fiction like Iron Man, do not exist in reality. While nuclear energy can be stored in nuclear reactors, the concept of an arc reactor that produces clean and limitless energy is purely fictional. As of now, nuclear reactors use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate electricity, but they do not resemble the arc reactor technology depicted in movies.
There are many unstable nuclei that exist in nature, but the exact number is difficult to determine due to the sheer variety of radioactive isotopes that can occur. These unstable nuclei can undergo radioactive decay to become more stable over time.
There are a number of synthetic elements. And a few that are what is called quasi-synthetic. The synthetic ones aren't found in nature. And it could be said that the quasi-synthetic ones are found in nature in only the barest trace amounts. The nice folks at Wikipedia have posted a comprehensive list, and a link is provided. That way you can scan the list quickly, and you will have the added advantage of being able to link to any element that looks interesting. Yes, that's right. All the elements on the list are actually hyperlinks to the Wikipedia article on that element. How cool is that?!
It is produced by the refinement of pitchblende ore and is subsequently enriched through various methods to yield highly enriched uranium, which can be used in nuclear weapons or nuclear reactors. you can also go to uranus and find some their
Uranium is a metal, natural, radioactive. Uranium exist only as minerals in the nature. Soils contain traces of uranium.
Different types of nuclear plants: Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR); Boiling Water Reactor (BWR); Heavy Water Moderated Reactor (CANDU); Advanced Gascooled Reactor (AGR); Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR); Pebble Bed Gascooled Reactor; Water Cooled Graphite Reactor (RBMK). There are other ideas that only exist on paper.
Uranium is primarily found in the Earth's crust in the form of uranium oxides, such as uraninite. These minerals can exist as solid deposits in rocks or as part of sedimentary layers. Due to its radioactive nature, uranium undergoes decay processes that produce various daughter isotopes, contributing to its radioactivity.
Protactinium exist in minute traces in uranium ores.
Actinium exist in minute traces in uranium and thorium ores.
Uranium - for economical exploitation - exist in mines.But uranium is is a common element in all rocks, all waters, building materials, soils etc.
Natural isotopes of plutonium exist only in traces in uranium ores.
A nuclear reactor is a plant which deliver electricity and (or) heat.The function principle is the release of energy from nuclear fission of fissile materials as the isotope uranium-235.
Homogeneous reactor- the reactor where one phase exist for both the reactants. Hetrogenous reactor - the reactors where more than one phase exist among the reactants gas-liquid-solid.
Plutonium exist in extremely low concentrations in uranium minerals; the chemical form is probably plutonium dioxide or a complex oxide with uranium.
A synonym of uranium doesn't exist.
Uranium-13 don't exist.
