Uranium is very important as a nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants. But uranium is toxic and radioactive.
Applications of plutonium: * nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors; can contribute to use uranium-238 which is fertile.Disadvantages of plutonium:- plutonium is radioactive - plutonium is toxic - plutonium is flammable - in some conditions (of mass and geometric form) plutonium can reach the critical mass
The advantages would be that chemical energy doesn't pollute, and it stores many things. The disadvantages would be pollution caused by the burning of fuel cells.
Uranium is not a fossil fuel and cannot be a fossil fuel.
Uranium is the most energetic material available today.
Uranium (as uranium dioxide, uranium carbide, uranium metal, uranium alloys, etc.), plutonium and thorium.
Advantages of uranium as fuel for nuclear power reactors: 1. Uranium is an alternative to fossil fuels, especially for countries without reserves of coal, petrol, methane. 2. Uranium don't contribute to global warming. 3. Uranium don't release carbon dioxide. 4. In the future uranium can be extracted from the sea water. Disadvantages of uranium: 1. Uranium is a possible polluting agent of the natural environment. 2. Uranium is a toxic and radioactive chemical element. 3. Uranium release radium and radon. 4. Radioactive wastes are dangerous and need to be isolated.
1. Uranium is a possible polluting agent of the natural environment.2. Uranium is a toxic and a radioactive chemical element.3. Uranium release radium and radon. 4. Radioactive wastes are dangerous and need to be isolated.If working responsibly most of the disadvantages call very limited. And are the major advantages of using uranium especially as nuclear fuel..
an advantage is that it will only cost 50p a gallon a disadvantage is that it will really smell
There are quite a few advantages and disadvantages of fuel price hikes. One disadvantage is that less fuel is purchased bringing in less money.
The advantages are that u can get to places faster. the disadvantages are it pollutes and wastes money on fuel.
advantages , it costs a bit less than petrol disavantages: burns alot we love k.k and that does not burn any fuel
diasadvantages... low efficiency
Uranium is a nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
what are the disadvantages of land transport?Disadvantages: Land transport is slower.Destinations are more limited.Runs on more fuel, if using a land vehicle.Advantages: Land transport is safer than sea transport.
Applications of plutonium: * nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors; can contribute to use uranium-238 which is fertile.Disadvantages of plutonium:- plutonium is radioactive - plutonium is toxic - plutonium is flammable - in some conditions (of mass and geometric form) plutonium can reach the critical mass
Applications of uranium: - nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors - explosive for nuclear weapons - material for armors and projectiles - catalyst - additive for glasses and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green colors) - toner in Photography - mordant for textiles - shielding material (depleted uranium) - ballast - and other minor applications Disadvantages: uranium is toxic and radioactive.
