British Nuclear Fuels Limited (BNFL) was founded in February 1971. In 1984 , BNFL became a public limited company totally owned by the United Kingdom government.

For example, nuclear fuels.
Fuels can be broadly categorized into three types: fossil fuels, renewable fuels, and nuclear fuels. Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are derived from ancient organic matter and are the most commonly used energy sources. Renewable fuels include biomass, biofuels, solar, wind, and hydropower, which are sustainable and can be replenished naturally. Nuclear fuels, primarily uranium and plutonium, are used in nuclear reactors to generate energy through nuclear fission.
The two fuels commonly used in nuclear power are uranium-235 and plutonium-239. These fuels undergo nuclear fission reactions in the reactor to generate heat energy which is then used to produce electricity.
Fossil fuels are not used in nuclear power stations. Nuclear fuel is used (uranium)
All nuclear fuels contain radioactive elements.
Because plutonium is needed for nuclear weapons and nuclear fuels.
Some reasons could be: * Availability of nuclear fuel * Availability of nuclear technology * Declining reserves of fossil fuels * Power generation Potential of nuclear fuels

Nuclear fuels, such as uranium, are used in nuclear reactors to generate electricity through a process called nuclear fission. In this process, the uranium atoms are split, releasing energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity.
