A reactor and uranium are used in the production of .?
A reactor and uranium are used in the production of nuclear energy. Uranium undergoes a process called nuclear fission within the reactor, where atoms split and release energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to generate electricity through steam turbines.
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.
What is the name of the fuel used in the nuclear reactor?
The fuel used in a nuclear reactor is typically uranium. Specifically, the most common type of uranium used is uranium-235, which undergoes nuclear fission to produce energy in the reactor.
What is uranium used for in a nuclear reactor?

The fuel used in a nuclear reactor usually comes from?
Mines, usually it is uranium, with only 0.7% (aproximately) U-235 (the isotope that is used for fission), the rest is U-238, known as depleted uranium, or natural uranium. Then it enriched to about 3-5% U-235, unless it is used in a CANDU reactor, in which case it can almost literaly be used straight out of the ground.
How much uranium 235 is used in a nuclear reactor?
The amount of uranium-235 used in a nuclear reactor depends on the design and size of the reactor. Typically, a reactor core contains several tons of uranium fuel, with the concentration of uranium-235 ranging from 3-5%. The fuel is arranged in fuel assemblies to sustain a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction.
How much uranium is used per day to power a 1000 MW reactor?
A 1000 MW nuclear reactor typically uses about 25 to 30 tons of uranium fuel per year. This equates to approximately 68 to 82 kilograms of uranium consumed per day, depending on the reactor's efficiency and operational conditions. The exact amount can vary based on the reactor design and the enrichment level of the uranium used.
Fusion reactor fuel used in future?
uranium-235 your welcome :)
Which atomic reactor is used for studies of uranium heavy water lattice in India?
The CIRUS reactor in India is commonly used for studies involving uranium heavy water lattices. This reactor was used for research purposes before being permanently shut down in 2010.
Is nuclear an atomic fuel?
Fuel used in a nuclear reactor is uranium, the active isotope is uranium 235 which is fissile.
What element is a reactor fuel?
Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239, or Uranium-233. Also many transuranics, like Americium make good fuel.
