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.
Which two substances provide most of the energy for a nuclear power plant?
Uranium and plutonium
How much plutonium in a nuclear power plant?
This depends on the type and power of the reactor; say tens of metric tons.
What are some examples of compounds that Plutonium forms?
, Plutonium is used in Uranium and Plutonium bars for the reactors and stabilization of the NPP (Nuclear Power Plant) chemical or nuclear machine motor. Hope I helped.
What is plutonium role in nuclear power?
Plutonium (as dioxide, carbide, mixed oxides or carbides) is an important nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
Can plutonium be used in nuclear power plants?
Yes, plutonium is a very important nuclear fuel.
Why would you use plutonium in a nuclear power plant?
The fission energy is transformed in heat and heat is transformed in electricity
In the movie Back to The Futurewhere did Doc Brown get the plutonium to power the time-traveling Delorean?
Doc brown stole the plutonium from the nuclear power plant. *edit* The above answer is INCORRECT. The plutonium was stolen from Libyan terrorists who gave it to him to make a bomb.
What does a nuclear power plant release in he air when it expoldes?
When a nuclear power plant explodes the largest worry is that the fuel source, like Uranium or Plutonium, will be released. This in turn would release huge amounts of radiation into the surrounding area.
What part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction called?
The part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction is called the reactor core. This is where the nuclear fuel, such as uranium or plutonium, is housed and where the chain reaction occurs to produce heat energy.
What elements are found in nuclear power plant fuel?
Uranium, or plutonium (which is created by the nuclear fission as well). The rods that contain the nuclear fuel were previously stainless steel, but are now usually zirconium.
Why is plutonium in a nuclear power sation?
Plutonium is used in nuclear power stations as a fuel in some types of reactors, like fast breeder reactors. It can undergo fission to produce energy. Additionally, plutonium can be created as a byproduct in nuclear reactors, which can then be reprocessed and reused as fuel.
