How did mined uranium become fuel for nuclear power plants?
Uranium minerals support a long way of transformations to become sintered pellets of uranium dioxide, the most common nuclear fuel.
Is chromium used as fuel nuclear power plants?
No, chromium has no fissile properties for use as fuel
How is uranium used in a power plant?
Yes, they import it and put it in the reactor core where rods slow down the energy given off then it turns a generator which creates power
How do nuclear plants affect sea life?
The negative effects of nuclear power plants on sea life is very limited as the sea water used for cooling is fully separated from the nuclear fuel. In addition, the regulations require that the sea water temperature rise due to its use for nuclear plants cooling should exceed 5 degrees centigrade. Many swimming beaches are located close to the nuclear power plants sites.
