The majority of commercial nuclear power reactors use uranium (natural or enriched) as nuclear fuel.

∙ 14y agoUranium (or plutonium) is a source of energy (nuclear fuel) in nuclear power plants.
Uranium (as dioxide or carbide) is used as fuel for nuclear power reactors.
A nuclear power plant does use uranium as fuel It "burns" it in the nuclear sense not the chemical sense
a nuclear power plant produces electricity from uranium 235
Uranium
Nuclear power plants all use uranium to some degree. There are only two radioactive elements found on Earth in sufficient concentrations to mine that can be used for nuclear power. These are uranium and thorium. Thorium cycle power plants of various types are being researched and developed, but none are currently producing power for an electric grid. Uranium-233 is part of the thorium cycle, so uranium will be present in thorium cycle reactors, and its energy is used there. There are a number of nuclear plant designs that use plutonium, though they are not common. None is producing power in the United States. And even these also use uranium. In fact, the plutonium is produced from uranium.
Uranium is the fuel that is used.

A hydrolic power plant is a power plant that uses water. The hydrolic power plant uses the evaporation and condensation of water to work. The largest hydrolic power plant is Itaipu power plant.
