What is plutonium cycle?
Plutonium obtained in nuclear reactors with uranium fuels after recycling of the burned fuels can be used also as a nuclear fuel.
What are 5 elements used in nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fuels: uranium, plutonium, thorium (metals or compounds).Other materials: zirconium alloys, heavy water, beryllium, graphite, etc.
What materials can be used as fuels for a nuclear reactor?
Uranium and most transuranic elements. Plutonium and Americium are particularly good reactor fuels.
What mineral is used in nuclear power?
uranium?
Is uranium used to procure atomic energy?
Yes, uranium is a nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors. Also uranium can be used in nuclear weapons.
What are the main fuels used in a power station?
Coal, oil, gas, gravity (hydro) and nuclear
Is it true that coal and natural gas are the main fossil fuels used in nuclear power stations?
Fossil fuels are not used in nuclear power stations. Nuclear fuel is used (uranium)
How are nuclear fuels in power stations to generate electricity?
Think of a nuclear power station as a slowed down nuclear bomb. The heat energy released in the fission process is used to turn water into steam to drive electric turbine generators.
Which fossil fuels are used to generate electricity in France?
nuclear power
Which Fuels are used in France?
Nuclear Power is over 75% of Frances electricity
Nuclear energy that is used to power nuclear powerplants?
Nuclear energy generated by nuclear fissions of nuclear fuels.
Is nuclear fuel used to make electricity?
This is the purpose of nuclear power plants and is very successfully done, 104 reactors in the US for example.
What are two energy resources which are not fuels and which are used to generate electricity?
Wind power, hydroelectric power, solar power, tidal power, nuclear power, geothermal power.
What is a nuclear power station?
The fissioning of uranium and plutonium nuclei releases energy as heat, which is then used to produce steam to drive conventional turbine/generators.
What Two energy resources which are not burnt fuels and which are used to generate electricity?
Wind power, hydroelectric power, solar power, tidal power, nuclear power, geothermal power.
What fuels are are used in France?
well the answer is NOT ON THIS SIGHT! now they answer the question to "which fuels are used bah bah....." but it will just give you the wrong answer oh wait before you go THIS SIGHT SUCKS you put anything down like.........ME!
Do nuclear power plants heat up the planet?
Any power plant causes heat to be produced when the electricity is used, but nuclear plants don't produce greenhouse gases as fossil fuels do
