What type of uranium is used in nuclear power plants?
235U
What type of nuclear power is used in powerplants?
Nuclear power from the fission of uranium and/or plutonium
What is Uranium energy used for?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.
Is uranium used to procure atomic energy?
Yes, uranium is a nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors. Also uranium can be used in nuclear weapons.
What type of energy is uranium used to produce?
Nuclear energy via radiation.
How is uranium used as a fossil fuel?
Uranium is not a fossil fuel; uranium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
Why does uranium ore have to be enriched before its used in a nuclear power plant?
1. Uranium must be refined to obtain "nuclear grade" uranium. 2. The enrichment in the isotope 235U depends on the type of the nuclear reactor; some reactors (as CANDU) work with natural uranium.
What type of specimen of uranium is mostly used in the world?
The uranium dioxide (UO2), the most important nuclear fuel now.
Is uranium used more in atomic bombs than plutonium?
No, plutonium is used more. Uranium can only be used in gun type nuclear weapons, which are rarely used.
Examples of where the energy from uranium?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors.
Why is uranium used in nuclear power plants?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear power plants because the fission of uranium atom release a formidable quantity of energy.
Used in nuclear reactors for energy?
radioactive element like uranium, plutonium......etc depends which type of nuclear reactor.
