What else can I help you with?
How is nuclear energy produced from uranium and plutonium?
The fission energy is transformed in heat and heat is transformed in electricity.
What metal is used in nuclear power stations as fuel?
Uranium, plutonium, or thorium.
Can plutonium combine with uranium?
Plutonium and uranium can form alloys.
Can uranium and plutonium bond?
Uranium and plutonium can form alloys.
Is plutonium usually in a compound or pure form?
In nuclear weapons plutonium exist as metal or as an alloy Pu-Ga; in nuclear fuels plutonium is as dioxide (mixed with uranium dioxide) or carbide (also possible mixed with uranium carbides).
What metal isotopes are generally used in atom bombs and nuclear reactors?
plutonium and uranium
What metal is plutonium?

Can you recycle uranium and plutonium?
Yes, it is possible to recycle "burned" uranium and plutonium.
What is smaller in radius uranium or plutonium?
The atomic radii of uranium and plutonium are identical.
What metal is a radioactive nuclear fuel?
Uranium is the most used nuclear fuel. Plutonium can also be used, but it has to be separated from used uranium fuel
What is this inner transition metal critical to the nuclear power industry?
From the list in the link below, thorium uranium and plutonium are the relevant ones
Is plutonium limited?
Plutonium is obtained from uranium irradiated in nuclear reactors, consequently the production of plutonium depends on uranium resources.
