Why is the fukushima coast used for nuclear power plant?
to eat dogs
Which radioactive material element is used in nuclear reactor in fukushima japan plant?
The fuel rods are of uranium dioxide, with the uranium enriched to about 5% U-235
What is the uraniums use in nuclear power plant?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel.
What is the atom of a nuclear power plant?
Uranium is the fuel that is used.
Which isotope is most commonly used as fuel in nuclear power plant?
Uranium 235
What is the function of coolant in nuclear power plant?
The reactor coolant is used to extract heat from the nuclear fuel and hence maintains its integrity.
What are some negative aspects of nuclear power?
Well, these disadvantages may include nuclear waste, nuclear accidents such as Chernobyl and the more recent Fukushima event. The fuels themselves that are used to power the plant such as uranium are in low amounts. The sources provided have extra information if you need.
What is a used fuel in nuclear power plants?
The used fuel in a nuclear power plant is the nuclear fuel being discharged from the nuclear reactor after being irradiated during reactor operation. It is usually composed of trans-uranium heavy elements, a wide variety of fission products (that resulted from the nuclear fission processes in the nuclear reactor) and products of radioactive decay (produced before and after fuel discharge from the nuclear reactor).
Is nuclear energy and nuclear fuel different?
Nuclear fuel is the fuel used to produce nuclear energy.
What is a radioactive element used for fuel in nuclear power plant?
Radioactive elements used for fuel include Plutonium -239 Uranium-235 and uanium-233.
What role do fuel rods play in generating energy?
Fuel rods are the nuclear fuel in a nuclear power plant. They are used to turn water to steam, which is then used to turn a turbine. They do not "generate energy", since energy cannot be created or destroyed (E=mc^2). They are used to generate electricity, or to convert nuclear energy to electric energy.
How does a nuclear sub marine convert its fuel into motion?
A small scale version of a nuclear power plant-thermal energy from the nuclear reactor is used to raise steam to drive turbines
