The physical form of nuclear fuel depends on the nuclear reactor type. The fuel can be in form of single solid rods, an assembly (or bundle) of solid pins, solid plates, an assembly of flat or curved plates, assembly of concentric hollow cylinders, solution fuel, or solid spheres

How is uranium used as a fossil fuel?
Uranium is not a fossil fuel; uranium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
What type of fuel is uranium?
Uranium is nuclear fuel not renewable.The source of energy is the nuclear fission.
How is uranium used in a power plant?
Yes, they import it and put it in the reactor core where rods slow down the energy given off then it turns a generator which creates power
What elements are found in most fuels?
In nuclear fuel it is uranium, actually in the form of uranium dioxide UO2, encased in a Zircaloy sheath.
What is the next step in a nuclear reactor after nuclear fission occurs in fuel rods?
Water is pumped around the fuel rods.
What form of fuel can be the most dangerous?
nuclear of course!
Which form of uranium is used as nuclear fuel?
Uranium-235 (235U)
Where is nuclear fuel generated?
In what is called a finishing plant, the fuel is packaged in its final form for the intended purpose.
Is nuclear energy and nuclear fuel different?
Nuclear fuel is the fuel used to produce nuclear energy.
What metal is mainly used to fuel nuclear reactors?
Uranium, but it is actually in oxide form, UO2
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 the word for the molten nuclear fuel plasma that will form in the fukushima reactors?
The solidified fuel and debris that melted in a meltdown is often called lava.
Why does reprocessing of nuclear fuel be described as a recycling programme which increases efficiency of nuclear fuel cycle?
By reprocessing spent fuel plutonium can be obtained, this can be added to uranium to make a mixed oxide fuel (MOX), so it is a form of recycling, though it is not the original U-235 that is recycled.
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.
