Yes,
Uranium is the primary energy source to be used for nuclear reactors to produce energy in the form of:
- Thermal energy for desalination chemical industries, or district heating, or
- Mechanical energy as motive power for for ships and submarines, or
- Electrical energy for its known end user applications

What energy source is used for nuclear fuel rods?
uranium. When water is heated, it causes a chain reaction that turns the uranium to plutonium.
What element is used as the source of nuclear power?
Most commonly used material to produce nuclear energy in Uranium.
How is uranium used as a source of nuclear energy?
Under nuclear fission with thermal neutrons uranium release an enormous quantity of energy (202,5 MeV per one atom of 235U); the obtained heat is converted in electricity.
What Is a source of energy that utilizes uranium-235 in a fission reaction to vaporize water The steam is then used to turn turbines to generate electricity?
nuclear power
What type of energy is uranium used to produce?
Nuclear energy via radiation.
What is Uranium energy used for?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.
Why isn't uranium used anymore for the energy source of nuclear energy?
I don'y know why you should think that, uranium is the main feed of nuclear fuel though sometimes some plutonium is also used
What is a highly reactive mineral that is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants?
Uranium is a highly reactive mineral that is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants
What energy source is used for nuclear fuel rods?
uranium. When water is heated, it causes a chain reaction that turns the uranium to plutonium.
An example of a source of energy?
Coal, oil, uranium Sun, wind, and water are now being used for energy.
Why is Uranium used as the energy source for nuclear power plants?
because the radiation of the uranium heats up and powers the turbine that creates the power
Is uranium a non-renewable energy source?
yes it is it cannot reproduce itself as quickly as it is used
What element is used as the source of nuclear power?
Most commonly used material to produce nuclear energy in Uranium.
Does uranium producing heat to make steam show the conversion of chemical energy to heat energy?
No; the energy used from uranium is usually nuclearenergy, not chemical energy.No; the energy used from uranium is usually nuclear energy, not chemical energy.No; the energy used from uranium is usually nuclear energy, not chemical energy.No; the energy used from uranium is usually nuclear energy, not chemical energy.
What is a highly reactiv mineral and is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclearpowered generating plants?
does uranium rust
Why do you need uranium?
uranium can be used as a thermal power source in nuclear power plants.one kilogram of uranium can produce energy equivalent 3000 kilograms of coal.but is also equally dangerous because of radiations from it
What highly reactive mineral is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs?
No mineral. Two metals- uranium and plutonium- are used in atomic bombs.
