Is nuclear waste a renewable resource?
The waste from nuclear reactors can in principle be reprocessed to extract plutonium, which can be used to fuel nuclear reactors. But this is not "renewable" it is just recycling fuel the reactor made, this process can at best multiply the amount available reactor fuel by roughly 100 times, then we run out. Only France reprocesses their nuclear waste, other countries have abandoned it largely from the unjustified fear that reprocessed plutonium reactor fuel might be "stolen" to build atomic bombs (normal power reactor generated plutonium has very high levels of the undesired plutonium-240 and plutonium-241 which make it impossible to build working atomic bombs with that plutonium).
Which is a waste problem of nuclear power that does not occur with coal-burning power plants?
The only waste from a nuclear power plant is spent fuel rods, which can be reprocessed. The waste from a coal fired plant is carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, mercury, ash, and soot.
What is slop in a oil refinery?
this is off spec fuel product which is normally reprocessed
Does Nuclear fission create any waste materials.?
nuclear fission results in the presence of used nuclear fuel that should be:either reprocessed (to gain back the remaining uranium and produced plutonium and to get the fission products as vitrified waste), orstored as high active waste; either under water or in dry storage casks.
Do shuttles use nuclear fuel?
If you mean space shuttles, the answer is no.
Is nuclear energy and nuclear fuel different?
Nuclear fuel is the fuel used to produce nuclear energy.
What bathes the control rods and fuel bundles of the nuclear reactor?
Perhaps you mean the water that acts as moderator and fuel coolant
Is nuclear power a fossil fuel?
Nuclear power is NOT a fossil fuel.
What possible future nuclear fuel?
what possible future nuclear fuel
What is Korea Nuclear Fuel's population?
The population of Korea Nuclear Fuel is 696.
When was Korea Nuclear Fuel created?
Korea Nuclear Fuel was created in 1982.
When was Nuclear Fuel Complex created?
Nuclear Fuel Complex was created in 1971.
