What uses does coal have?
the uranium is a radioactive mineral that is used as a nuclear fuel to produce electric energy
Is uranium used to procure atomic energy?
Yes, uranium is a nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors. Also uranium can be used in nuclear weapons.
Uranium fuel pellets used in nuclear power station produce far more energy per kilogram than the energy produced by burning coal How much coal has to be burnt to produce the same amount of energy?
1 kg uranium 235 = 3 000 t coal
Is nuclear energy and nuclear fuel different?
Nuclear fuel is the fuel used to produce nuclear energy.
Why is uranium used in nuclear power production?
Uranium is a radioactive substance. Nuclear power production is carried out by the energy supplied by nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors control the energy emission by nuclear fission reaction in radioactive substance when bombarded by neutrons.
What type of energy is uranium used to produce?
Nuclear energy via radiation.
What is Uranium energy used for?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.
Can uranium be used instead of electricity?
Uranium is used in nuclear power reactors to produce electricity or thermal energy.
What element is used as the source of nuclear power?
Most commonly used material to produce nuclear energy in Uranium.
What are the top two elements used to produce nuclear energy?
Uranium and 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 uses does coal have?
the uranium is a radioactive mineral that is used as a nuclear fuel to produce electric energy
Does uranium producing heat to make steam show the conversion of chemical energy to heat energy?
No; the energy used from uranium is usually nuclearenergy, not chemical energy.No; the energy used from uranium is usually nuclear energy, not chemical energy.No; the energy used from uranium is usually nuclear energy, not chemical energy.No; the energy used from uranium is usually nuclear energy, not chemical energy.
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.
Which contains a heavy atom used in nuclear fission reactions to produce thermal energy?
Uranium-235
What contains a heavy atom often used in nuclear fission reactions to produce thermal energy?
uranium
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
