Can plutonium be used in nuclear power plants?
Yes, plutonium is a very important nuclear fuel.
Why is plutonium in a nuclear power sation?
Plutonium (as a metal or oxide , mixed oxide, carbide) can be used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.
What type of nuclear power is used in powerplants?
Nuclear power from the fission of uranium and/or plutonium
Does nuclear power have uranium in it?
Either Uranium or Plutonium.
Is plutonium used in power plants?
Yes, plutonium is a very important fuel for nuclear reactors.
What is used in control rods in nuclear power plants?
Plutonium
What where do you get plutonium?
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 are some examples of compounds that Plutonium forms?
, Plutonium is used in Uranium and Plutonium bars for the reactors and stabilization of the NPP (Nuclear Power Plant) chemical or nuclear machine motor. Hope I helped.
What are the advantages and disadvantages for using plutonium in generate electricity?
Applications of plutonium: * nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors; can contribute to use uranium-238 which is fertile.Disadvantages of plutonium:- plutonium is radioactive - plutonium is toxic - plutonium is flammable - in some conditions (of mass and geometric form) plutonium can reach the critical mass
Elements in space used in nuclear power?
Spacecraft using nuclear power use the heat energy of Plutonium-238. The heat energy of the radioactive pellet of Plutonium-238 is converted into electricity.
What is the environmental role of plutonium?
Plutonium is very toxic and radioactive; plutonium can be a pollution agent for the environment in the case of a severe accident or during a nuclear war initiated by USA.
How is nuclear power different to anything else?
Nuclear power involves splitting the nucleus (of uranium or plutonium). No other method of power production does this
