- in reactors: yellowcake, a uranium oxide; after that probably metallic uranium
- in stars: ordinary hydrogen; after that helium

Which actinide fuel is used in nuclear reactors?
Uranium-235 and plutonium-239 are the most common actinide fuels used in nuclear reactors as they are fissile and undergo nuclear fission reactions efficiently.
What are the two most common isotopes used as nuclear fuels?
in reactors: yellowcake, a uranium oxide; after that probably metallic uraniumin stars: ordinary hydrogen; after that helium
What are the most common fuels?
The most common fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas.
After fossil fuels what power supplies the most electricity to the world.?
nuclear !!!!!!!!!!
What materials can be used as fuels for a nuclear reactor?
The primary materials used as fuels in nuclear reactors are enriched uranium and plutonium. Enriched uranium is the most common fuel used, while plutonium is often formed as a byproduct during nuclear fission. Other potential fuel materials include thorium and mixed oxides (MOX) fuel, which combine uranium and plutonium.
What are different types of fules?
Fuels can be broadly categorized into three types: fossil fuels, renewable fuels, and nuclear fuels. Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are derived from ancient organic matter and are the most commonly used energy sources. Renewable fuels include biomass, biofuels, solar, wind, and hydropower, which are sustainable and can be replenished naturally. Nuclear fuels, primarily uranium and plutonium, are used in nuclear reactors to generate energy through nuclear fission.
Where does plutonium most commonly exist?
Plutonium exist in nuclear fuels (burned or new fuels of the type U-Pu).
What do all fuels have in common?
The most common element in all combustible fuels is Hydrogen, this is closely followed by the presence of Carbon.
Which fuels does not emit water vapor?
For example, nuclear fuels.
What is the most common energy used?
That released by fission in a nuclear reactor
What is the most common substance found in the sun?
The most common substance found in the sun is hydrogen. Approximately 74% of the sun's mass is made up of hydrogen, which fuels nuclear fusion reactions in its core, generating heat and light. Helium is the second most abundant element in the sun.
Is the nuclear family most common today?
No. The most common family is a mother and her children.
