Uranium.
It undergoes controlled nuclear fission. to form plutonium amongst other elements . In doing so it liberates heat. This heat is used to heat water to steam, to drive a turbine, which in turn drives a generator to make electricity.

How does uranium look like as a fuel in nuclear power station?
It looks green, and glowing.
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.
Is nuclear power same as uranium?
Uranium (as metal, dioxide, carbide, etc.) is the nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors; plutonium is obtained also from uranium 238 and thorium 232 generate uranium 233.
What if nuclear fuel was used instead of fossil fuel?
There would be no carbon emissions. Nuclear power does not contribute to global warming.
How is nuclear power plant's fuel made?

How do you use uranium as an energy resource?
it con be as fuel for nuclear power station
How does uranium look like as a fuel in nuclear power station?
It looks green, and glowing.
How does nuclear energy conserve fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy conserves the use of fossil fuel because if there is a nuclear power station there is no need to burn fossil fuel in that region.
What metal is used in nuclear power stations as fuel?
Uranium, plutonium, or thorium.
What is the process by which a nuclear fuel provides the energy needed to generate electricity in a nuclear power station?

What power station makes very cheap electricity after the station is built?
This is typical of nuclear plants where the fuel costs are low compared with fossil fuel costs.
What fuel do they use kingnorth power station?
You mean Kingsnorth in the UK? It is not nuclear, coal is used there.
What is the difference between a nuclear power station and coal fired power station?
The difference is in the name; nuclear power plants produce electricity via a nuclear reaction producing head to turn a turbine, whereas coal fired power plants burn coal to produce the same efffect.
Is nuclear power a fossil fuel?
Nuclear power is NOT a fossil fuel.
Name the two nuclear power station of Pakistan?
Chashma Nuclear Power Complex Karachi Nuclear Power Plant Karachi Nuclear Power Complex Khushab Nuclear Complex Multan Heavy Water Production Facility Pakistan Atomic Research Reactor Pakistan Nuclear Power Fuel Complex
How does a nuclear and fossil fuel station differ?
A nuclear station uses the energy from nuclear fission to generate power, but fossil fuel stations burn fossil fuels that release CO2 into the atmosphere, instead of the steam that nuclear plants produce. Therefore, nuclear power is more enviormental friendly, though it has some very radioactive waste products that can be harmful if not disposed properly.
