What are two types of stars that can form when a star runs out of fuel?
When a Star runs out of fuel, it will expand into what is known as a "Red Giant". Massive stars will become "Red Supergiants". This phase will last until the star exhausts its remaining fuel. At this point, the pressure of the nuclear reaction is not strong enough to equalize the force of gravity and the star will collapse. Go to related link to read more about Stars... ;)
What happens when a high mass star exhausts its fuel?
It will probably explode as a supernova, leaving either a neutron star or black hole.
The sun will eventually use up its hydrogen fuel and become what?
When the sun exhausts the hydrogen in its core and become a red giant.
What is the main fuel for nuclear reactions in stars?
The main fuel for stars is hydrogen.
What will happen when a star exhausts its remaining fuel?
Most stars will become white dwarf stars. A "high mass" star will become a neutron star or a black hole, after exploding as a supernova.
How long does it take for spent nuclear fuel to become safe?
This takes around 6.000.000 years but it could take longer depending on the amount of nuclear fuel spilt.
Why are nuclear waster products a problem?
Nuclear fuel remains dangerously radioactive for thousands of years after it is no longer useful in a commercial reactor.
Is nuclear energy and nuclear fuel different?
Nuclear fuel is the fuel used to produce nuclear energy.
What is a used fuel in nuclear power plants?
The used fuel in a nuclear power plant is the nuclear fuel being discharged from the nuclear reactor after being irradiated during reactor operation. It is usually composed of trans-uranium heavy elements, a wide variety of fission products (that resulted from the nuclear fission processes in the nuclear reactor) and products of radioactive decay (produced before and after fuel discharge from the nuclear reactor).
How far can a sub marine go?
As far as distance, nuclear powered submarines can go around the world four times on their nuclear fuel. As far as "before they need re-supply", I don't know but I am guessing it is a minimum of 40-60 days, maybe longer.
What are the nuclear fuel pins encased in before and after use?
Zircaloy sheaths contain the fuel pins and remain throughout operation and subsequent storage of the spent fuel
Plutonium can no longer be used as a source of what energy?
Plutonium is used and also will be used in the future as fuel for nuclear power reactors.
Is nuclear power a fossil fuel?
Nuclear power is NOT a fossil fuel.
What possible future nuclear fuel?
what possible future nuclear fuel
If uranium is not a foosil fuel then what is it?
Uranium is a radioactive element used to fuel nuclear reactors. It is a nuclear fuel.
What is Korea Nuclear Fuel's population?
The population of Korea Nuclear Fuel is 696.
When was Korea Nuclear Fuel created?
Korea Nuclear Fuel was created in 1982.
