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.
A uranium b potash c coal d petroleum Which of these natural resources found in the southwest is not used to supply energy?
Potash, of course.
What is the definition of uranium energy?
energy derived from uranium. Example: fission is a great method to extract uranium energy.
Why do you need uranium?
uranium can be used as a thermal power source in nuclear power plants.one kilogram of uranium can produce energy equivalent 3000 kilograms of coal.but is also equally dangerous because of radiations from it
What contains a heavy atom often used in nuclear fission reactions to produce thermal energy?
uranium
What is the same and different between uranium and petroleum?
Uranium is a radioactive metal. Petroleum is a complex mixture of organic compounds. Petroleum is a fossil fuel. All is different between uranium and petroleum. But uranium nuclear fission and petroleum burning release valuable energy.
What is the differences between petroleum and uranium?
Petroleum is a fossil fuel, containing many organic compounds; burning of petroleum release thermal energy. Uranium is a radioactive metal; fission of uranium release a great quantity of nuclear energy.
How are uranium and petroleum different?
Petroleum and uranium can be used as fuels.
What does uranium produce energy from?

What energy resources can be found in deserts?
Solar energy, geothermal energy, wind, petroleum, coal, uranium (nuclear fuel).
What are the similarities in the way uranium and hydrogen produce energy?
No similarities: - uranium: energy released by fission - hydrogen: energy released by oxidation
Does petroleum produce energy?
Yes, a huge amount
Is natrual gas renewable?
Natrual gas, petroleum, and uranium are not renewable. However, solar energy is.
What are 3 non energy resources?
petroleum (including oil and natural gas), uranium, coal
What type of energy is uranium used to produce?
Nuclear energy via radiation.
How much energy can uranium produce?
It depends upon the amount of uranium being used.However, the energy given out per nucleon per fission of uranium is 0.9 MeV.
