Uranium is the most used nuclear fuel. Plutonium can also be used, but it has to be separated from used uranium fuel
Uranium
The radioactive metal used in nuclear reactors is uranium. It is commonly used as fuel in nuclear reactors due to its ability to undergo nuclear fission, releasing large amounts of energy in the process.
Uranium is a solid metal, natural chemical element with 3 natural isotopes, radioactive, with the atomic number 92, used as fuel in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
All nuclear fuels contain radioactive elements.
Nuclear
Uranium is a natural chemical element, solid, metal.Uranium is largely used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors to deliver energy (electricity or heat).
Uranium is the radioactive metal commonly used in nuclear power plants for fuel production. It undergoes fission reaction to generate heat, which is used to produce steam and generate electricity in nuclear reactors.
Uranium is a radioactive element used to fuel nuclear reactors. It is a nuclear fuel.
Petroleum and uranium can be used as fuels.
Petroleum is a fossil fuel, containing many organic compounds; burning of petroleum release thermal energy. Uranium is a radioactive metal; fission of uranium release a great quantity of nuclear energy.
Uranium
Plutonium is a chemical element, radioactive, solid, metal, artificial (but exist also as a natural element in extremely low concentrations in uranium ores). Plutonium is essential for nuclear reactors (as fuel) and for nuclear weapons (as explosive).
