Uranium (SOS?)
fission
Indiana has no nuclear power plants.
Nuclear power plants are capital intensive power plants and hence it is more economic to operate them at high capacity factors (or as base load plants)
NO!
Uranium is the primary element used in nuclear power plants for its ability to undergo nuclear fission and produce energy.
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.
Used to produce electricity to power cities and towns
Uranium and plutonium are the most commonly used elements in nuclear power plants. These elements undergo nuclear fission, releasing energy in the form of heat, which is then used to produce electricity.
The type of uranium used in nuclear power plants is uranium-235. It is the isotope of uranium that is fissile, meaning it can sustain a nuclear chain reaction.
That is the main use, to fuel nuclear power plants
Nuclear power plants use nuclear energy as their source of power. They harness the energy released from nuclear reactions (such as fission) to generate electricity. The heat produced by these reactions is used to create steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
