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.
What else can I help you with?
Is nuclear power same as uranium?
No, nuclear power and uranium are not the same. Nuclear power is a form of energy that is generated through nuclear reactions, while uranium is a radioactive element that is commonly used as fuel in nuclear power plants. Uranium is not the only fuel source for nuclear power, but it is the most commonly used.
Why is plutonium in a nuclear power sation?
Plutonium is used in nuclear power stations as a fuel in some types of reactors, like fast breeder reactors. It can undergo fission to produce energy. Additionally, plutonium can be created as a byproduct in nuclear reactors, which can then be reprocessed and reused as fuel.
Radioactive metal used in nuclear power plants?
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.
Is nuclear energy and nuclear fuel different?
Yes, nuclear energy is the electricity generated by nuclear power plants through nuclear reactions. Nuclear fuel, on the other hand, is the material such as uranium or plutonium that undergoes fission to produce the energy in nuclear power plants.
What element is fuel in nuclear power plants?
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.
How do you use uranium as an energy resource?
it con be as fuel for nuclear power station
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?
suk ur mummy
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 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 same as uranium?
No, nuclear power and uranium are not the same. Nuclear power is a form of energy that is generated through nuclear reactions, while uranium is a radioactive element that is commonly used as fuel in nuclear power plants. Uranium is not the only fuel source for nuclear power, but it is the most commonly used.
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.
What metal do nuclear power stations use?
Your question is far too broad to be answered specifically. The number of different metals used in a nuclear power station is huge. If you just want to know what is used for fuel, that is generally an isotope of Uranium.
What is the difference between electricity being made in a fossil fuel power station to being made in a nuclear power station?
The difference is only the material that is being used to generate electricity.
An alternative to oil resources but it is requires careful disposal of the radioactive waste which is produced?
Plutionium, Uranium and/or Americum can all be used to fuel a nuclear fission power station
What fuel do they use kingnorth power station?
You mean Kingsnorth in the UK? It is not nuclear, coal is used there.
