What else can I help you with?
Is splitting uranium in a power plant a physical nuclear or chemical change?
It is a nuclear change because there is a change in the nuclear structure of Uranium.
What is the process of splitting uranium atoms at a nuclear power plant called?
The process of splitting uranium atoms at a nuclear power plant is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat, which is then used to generate electricity through steam turbines.
Can a nuclear power plant burn uranium?
A nuclear power plant does use uranium as fuel It "burns" it in the nuclear sense not the chemical sense
What is the uraniums use in nuclear power plant?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel.
What equipment is used in a nuclear power plant?
Uranium
What Power plant that uses uranium as a source of energy?
Uranium (or plutonium) is a source of energy (nuclear fuel) in nuclear power plants.
What power plant uses uranium?
The majority of commercial nuclear power reactors use uranium (natural or enriched) as nuclear fuel.
What is the process of splitting of a heavier nucleus into lighter with the release of energy called?
Fission is the word you are looking for, but the less massive nuclei of the daughter atoms are usually far less stable than the nucleus of the parent, which is why nuclear waste from plant that uses uranium as fuel is extremely dangerous but nuclear fuel for the plant is not.
What is the energy source in a nuclear power plant?
The energy comes from the constant fissioning (splitting) of atoms within the nuclear fuel, which is normally uranium or plutonium. The energy is released as heat within the reactor, and boils water for the steam turbines that convert it to electricity.
What are the fuel sources for a nuclear power plant?
Natural uranium
What is the atom of a nuclear power plant?
Uranium is the fuel that is used.
How much uranium is need to power a nuclear power plant for eighteen months?
Depending on: - the type of the nuclear reactor - the electrical power of the nuclear reactor - the type of the nuclear fuel - the enrichment of uranium - the estimated burnup of the nuclear fuel etc.
