Flowing water is used to turn enormous turbines, generating electricity
NO!
That is the main use, to fuel nuclear power plants
Power plants fall into two categoiries, These and their fuel sources are:Thermal Power Plantscoaloilnatural gasbiomassNuclear Power PlantsUraniumThorium (under investigation)
Uranium is the primary fuel used in nuclear power plants. Specifically, uranium-235 is the isotope that undergoes nuclear fission to generate heat in these plants.
No, chromium is not used as a fuel in nuclear power plants. In nuclear power plants, the most common fuel is uranium, which undergoes fission reactions to generate heat that is used to produce electricity. Chromium is mainly used in stainless steel components within the nuclear reactors for their corrosion resistance properties.
One metallic element commonly used in nuclear power plants is uranium. It is used as fuel in nuclear reactors to undergo fission and produce energy. Another metallic element used in nuclear plants is zirconium, which is used to make fuel rods that house the uranium fuel.
Uranium is the most common fuel used in nuclear power plants. Specifically, uranium-235 is the isotope that is commonly used for nuclear fission reactions to generate heat and produce electricity.
B. Uranium
No, Enriched Uranium-235 is used in a nuclear reactor as the fuel in the fuel rods and boron is used in the control rods.
Well it conserves fuel which would otherwise have to be used in power plants.
Yes, uranium is the most important nuclear fuel.
Yes, plutonium is a very important nuclear fuel.
