Why is uranium used in nuclear power production?
Uranium is a radioactive substance. Nuclear power production is carried out by the energy supplied by nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors control the energy emission by nuclear fission reaction in radioactive substance when bombarded by neutrons.
What is a radioactive element used for fuel in nuclear power plant?
Radioactive elements used for fuel include Plutonium -239 Uranium-235 and uanium-233.
Element used in an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons?
The radioactive elements plutonium or uranium are the elements that are used in nuclear weapons that create nuclear fission. Isotopes of hydrogen are used in nuclear weapons that create nuclear fusion.
What uses does coal have?
the uranium is a radioactive mineral that is used as a nuclear fuel to produce electric energy
Was used as a target substance in the experiments by Irene joliot-Curie?
Radioactive Nitrogen was the element that Irene Joliot-Curie used as a target substance in the experiments. Irene Joliot-Curie was a French nuclear physicist.
Used in nuclear reactors for energy?
radioactive element like uranium, plutonium......etc depends which type of nuclear reactor.
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive?
Uranium
What radioactive metal is used for nuclear power?
Uranium is the radioactive element used in nuclear power plants these days. This element has a very high energy content.
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive but is not uranium?
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
If uranium is not a foosil fuel then what is it?
Uranium is a radioactive element used to fuel nuclear reactors. It is a nuclear fuel.
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive poisonous and explosive?
We know that plutonium is radioactive, highly toxic and is fissionable (capable of use in a nuclear weapon).
Why is uranium used in nuclear power production?
Uranium is a radioactive substance. Nuclear power production is carried out by the energy supplied by nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors control the energy emission by nuclear fission reaction in radioactive substance when bombarded by neutrons.
Where is the source of nuclear energy found?
Nuclear energy is gained from atoms of any kind, thus the name 'Nuclear'. We generally only use heavy, radioactive atoms for nuclear energy though, as they contain lots of energy and are easier to split than others typically. The most common element used in Nuclear Energy plants is Uranium, which is mined naturally in many world locations.
Can you get power from the radioactive element Uranium?
Yes, the radioactive decay of Uranium-235 is used to produce power in nuclear power plants.
Can you get power from the radioactive element radium?
Radium is not used to produce energy.
An element used in nuclear reactors for energy?
Uranium.
A radioactive element often used in nuclear power sations?
I think you mean Uranium /U/.
