What type of plant uses 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.
What was the type of the nuclear core of hiroshima?
It derived its explosive power from the nuclear fission of uranium 235.
What type of radioactive decay results in uranium becoming thorium?
Alpha decay
What type of radioactive decay results in uranium-238 becoming thorium-234?
Alpha decay
What is Thorium breeder reacter?
In this type of nuclear reactor the fertile isotope thorium-232 is transformed in the fissile isotope uranium-233 and this act as a nuclear fuel.
Fuel for nucleur reactors?
Uranium, plutonium or thorium (for fission reactors, by far the most common type).
What type of radioactive decay resulted in uranium 238 becoming thorium 234 and how do you know?
This is an alpha decay.
What type of radioadiocetive decay results in uranium 238 becoming thorium 234?
This is an example of alpha decay.
Type of metal?
Examples of metals: iron, nickel, uranium, thorium, sodium, niobium, plutonium, etc.
What type of radioactive decay resulted in uranium-238 becoming thorium-234 and how do you know?
This is alpha decay.If you notice carefully, uranium has 238 atomic wt. and on decaying becomes thorium with atomic wt. of 234. hence it lost atomic wt. of 4. He, which is released in alpha decay, has atomic no. of 4. Hence, if uranium decayed into Helium and Thorium, it will undergo Alpha Decay
What type of radioactive decay result in uranium -238 becoming thorium 234.?
This is an alpha decay.The half-life of uranium-238 is 4,468.10ex.9 years.
What type of a resource is Thorium?
Thorium is a fertile material for nuclear power reactors. But at a long therm is non-renewable.
