Which element is used by most nuclear power plants to produce nuclear energy?

First of all, you should distinguish between isotopes, not elements. For example, U-235 (uranium 235) and U-238 are the same element, and have the same chemical properties, but for a power plant, they are completely different things.
U-235 is often used; it is also possible to convert other isotopes, such as U-238, into isotopes that are useful for nuclear fission - in this example, a plutonium isotope.

What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
What process do nuclear power plants use to produce energy?
All current nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce energy. For more information on fission and power plants, see the related links.
What is the method used to produce nuclear energy in power plants?
nuclear fission
Power plants produce energy by the process of nuclear?
fission.
How is nuclear energy used to produce electricity?
Nuclear energy, or nuclear power, uses exothermic nuclear processes to produce electricity. Nuclear power plants provide around 10% of the world's electricity.

Does Nuclear power plants on Earth create energy in the same way as the Sun?
No, nuclear power plants get their energy from fissionof the heavy element uranium, the sun gets its energy from fusion of the light element hydrogen.

What mehod use to produce buclear energy in power plants?
Assuming you mean "nuclear energy": power plants don't produce it, they use it.
To produce energy nuclear power plants use a process called?
fission
What businesses use nuclear energy?
Nuclear fission refers to the splitting of an atomic nucleus. It occurs naturally and can be induced in order to release energy. Nuclear fission provides the energy released by nuclear weapons as well as the energy used to produce energy at nuclear power plants.
Do nuclear power plants use uranium to produce energy?
Yes, uranium is the most important nuclear fuel now.
