What elements are found in Nuclear Power Plants?
Uranium Plutonium Neptunium Boron Carbon - Many elements formed during Uranium fission but first four will be found in all breeder reactions
Hydrogen neon gold carbon and uranium are examples of what?
Gold, uranium, neon, carbon and hydorogen are all natural chemical elements.
What requires the use of uranium in a nuclear reactor?
Under nuclear fission with thermal neutrons uranium release an enormous quantity of energy (202,5 MeV per one atom of 235U); the obtained heat is converted in electricity. And we need electricity and heat. also uranium is an alternative to fossil fuels; nuclear reactors don't contribute to global warming and don't release carbon dioxide.
To two decimal places write the molar masses of carbon neon iron and uranium?
Atomic mass: Carbon - 12,01 Neon - 20,18 Iron - 55,84 Uranium - 238,03
What radioactive element is best suited for determining the age of wooden tools used by prehistoric humans during the last ice age?
Some of the isotopes used for this purpose are uranium-238, uranium-235 and potassium-40. However often the dates are not determined directly from isotopes in the fossils themselves, but instead from isotopes in layers of volcanic rocks above and below the fossils and the age of the fossils are estimated between these two measured dates.
Compare the energy produced during fission of a uranium atom with the energy produced from combustion of carbon atom from coal?
The energy density of Uranium is 2,715,385 greater than an equal amount of coal
What elements are found in Nuclear Power Plants?
Uranium Plutonium Neptunium Boron Carbon - Many elements formed during Uranium fission but first four will be found in all breeder reactions
What are the advantagesof using uranium as a fuel?
1. Uranium release an enormous quantity of energy, under nuclear fission. 2. Uranium is an alternative to fossil fuels, especially for countries without reserves of methane or petroleum. 3. Uranium don't emit carbon dioxide, other greenhouse gases or flying ashes.
What is one statement about nuclear energy that is not true?
It is not true that: Carbon dioxide is produced during nuclear reactor operation or during nuclear fission.
Is Carbon monoxide formed wherever there is uranium?
Any relation between carbon monoxide and uranium.
Which element is lighter among these carbon boron uranium?
Boron is lighter than carbon and uranium.
How does uranium mining give off carbon emissions?
Uranium mining don't release carbon dioxide.
Hydrogen neon gold carbon and uranium are examples of what?
Gold, uranium, neon, carbon and hydorogen are all natural chemical elements.

How does uranium make the power clean?
- Uranium don't contribute to global warming- Uranium don't release carbon dioxide
What are the differences of uranium and petroleum?
Uranium: chemical element, metal, radioactive, unstable, can release under fission with thermal neutrons an enormous energy. Petroleum (oil): fossil fuel, source of carbon dioxide and greenhouse effect, reserves are near exhaustion, it is desirable to use petroleum in petrochemistry, not as fuel for heating or automobiles.
How does electricity generated from nuclear energy?
By Nuclear fission,nucleus of a heavy,radioactive atom (eg-uranium,thorium,plutonium) is bombarded with low-energy neutrons to split into lighter nuclei.This generates tremendous amount of energy.This energy can be used to produce steam which turns the turbine and thus electricity is produced on a large scale. Nuclear energy produces 10 million times the energy produced by combustion of an atom of carbon from coal.
