Which actinide fuel is used in nuclear reactors?
It is Uranium
Why use plutonium in nuclear reactors?
Plutonium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors. Plutonium isotopes (239, 241) are fissionable with thermal neutrons releasing an extremely great quantity of energy.
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.
Why plutonium is important?
Plutonium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors to produce electric energy. Also plutonium is indispensable for nuclear weapons.
Does plutonium use for fuel nuclear?
Yes, it can be used in both bombs and reactors. It is excellent fuel for either one.
What can be used as a substitute for nuclear reactors?
No substitute for nuclear power reactors especially if there is no available fossil fuel.
