Uranium fuel is used to produce a nuclear chain reaction in which the atoms of U 235 undergo fission, which produces a lot of heat, which is then used to produce steam to drive a conventional steam turbine/generator

What is fuel used in a nuclear fission called?
It mainly uranium fuel. Sometimes, it is used MOX fuel (MOX is Mixed uranium plutonium Oxide fuel)
What is the primary use for uranium?
Uranium is used especially as nuclear fuel.
What element and plutonium are used in nuclear reactors?
Uranium is the main fuel used, but in some countries a mixture of uranium and plutonium is also used (MOX fuel)
What is Uranium energy used for?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.

What are uranium ores used for?
To produce uranium
How can uranium be used as a fuel?
Uranium is used as a fuel because it produces massive amounts of heat, Around 700 Degrees if controlled, And aver 3000 Degrees if not controlled. This heat is then pumped by tons of water which the Uranium turns into steam which turns the turbines that produce electricity.
What metal is a radioactive nuclear fuel?
Uranium is the most used nuclear fuel. Plutonium can also be used, but it has to be separated from used uranium fuel
If uranium is not a foosil fuel then what is it?
Uranium is a radioactive element used to fuel nuclear reactors. It is a nuclear fuel.
What is fuel used in a nuclear fission called?

Which form of uranium is used as nuclear fuel?
Uranium-235 (235U)
What is the primary use for uranium?
Uranium is used especially as nuclear fuel.
What kind of energy uses as a fuel?
Nuclear energy is produced using uranium as a fuel. The energy produced is in form of heat energy which is used to produce electrical energy.
