The fission of uranium atomic nucleus (especially the isotope uranium-235 which is fissile with low energy neutrons) release a huge energy: 202,5 MeV/fission or 1,68.10ex.8 kJ/mol. The nuclear fission is the source of this energy.

Can uranium be used instead of electricity?
Uranium is used in nuclear power reactors to produce electricity or thermal energy.
How is uranium an advantage for humans?
Uranium is the starting material in nuclear reactors, which then produce electricity.
How much electricity does uranium produce?
1 kg of uranium-235 is equivalent to 24.10ex.6 kWh.
What is a use for Uranium fuel?
The use is to produce electricity from a nuclear reactor plant
When do you use uranium to produce electricity?
When reserves of oil and coal are finished or limited in a country.
How does Thorium produce electricity?
I believe it can be used for nuclear fission, similar to uranium or plutonium.
Why is uranium so special?
The nuclear fission of uranium-235 release a huge amount of energy.This energy can be used in nuclear reactors to produce electricity/heat or in nuclear weapons.
What volcanoes produce Uranium in Canada?
Volcanoes do not produce uranium.
What are uranium used in?
Uranium is used as a colorant in uranium glass, producing orange-red to lemon yellow hues. It was also used for tinting and shading in early photography. Its also used to produce electricity and creating nuclear fission.
What are reactor and uranium are used in the production of?
A nuclear reactor is a facility which produce electricity and heat from the fission of uranium or plutonium.The energy released by fission of uranium-235 (or other isotopes) is immense compared to the energy content of fossil fuels.
Whet are the uses of fission?
Fission of uranium and plutonium is mainly used to produce electricity, but also smaller reactors are used to produce radioisotopes for medical and industrial use
What are uranium ores used for?
To produce uranium
