Plutonium can no longer be used as a source of what energy?
Plutonium is used and also will be used in the future as fuel for nuclear power reactors.
What energy do nuclear power plants convert nuclear energy to?
Nuclear power plants convert nuclear energy to electrical.sometimes it can be used to enrich radioactive nuclei which can later used in missile warheads. But using thorium as a source of nuclear power we can't enrich nuclei but we can use for electrical power generation which might have more energy than former
A radioactive element often used in nuclear power stations?
Uranium 235 or Plutonium 239
What is power plant nuclear power used for?
Power plants generate electricity and the electricity is used just like any other energy source would be, they power cities and make stuff run
What are five uses for plutonium?
Applications of plutonium: - explosive in nuclear weapons - nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors - the isotope 238Pu is used as energy source in spacecrafts or other applications (radioisotope thermoelectric generators) - neutron generator, as Pu-Be source
What is the element plutonium used for?
Nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors (Pu 239 and Pu 241 are fissile isotopes) Nuclear weapons Power and thermal source - Pu 238 (for pacemakers, spatial missions, etc.) Pu-Be neutrons source
What element is used for nuclear power?
Uranium is used
What is a metallic element used in nuclear power plants?

How do they used plutonium in business?
Plutonium applications: - fuel for nuclear reactors - explosive for nuclear weapons - neutron source - isotopic power source - isotopic heat source - in the past, power source for pacemakers
What element is used to make fuel for nuclear power plants?
B. Uranium
What has the highly toxic element plutonium has been used in?
Applications of plutonium: • explosive in nuclear weapons • nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors • the isotope 238Pu is used as energy source in spacecrafts or other applications (radioisotope thermoelectric generators); the chemical form is plutonium dioxide. • neutron generator, as Pu-Be source
