The most common substances used as nuclear fuel are Uranium 235 and Plutonium 239. These isotopes are fissile, which means that they will fission (split) in a controlled manner when bombarded with high energy neutrons, and release energy in the form of heat. This heat is used to boil water in huge boilers. The resulting steam is used to drive steam turbines which generate electrical energy.
U235 is used for the production of energy.
The fuel is uranium dioxide, UO2.
uranuim 235, uranium 238, pulonium 239..
uranium-235
These expressions are synonyms; sometimes atomic symbol is used for the name of an isotope.
In civil nuclear plants, the heat produced by fission in U-235 is used to generate electricity.
Carbon-12 is used as the standard by which the atomic masses of other nuclides are measured.
Knowledge about atomic nuclei has been used to produce energy.
Ex.: neptunium, deuterium (isotope of H)

The energy production in nuclear reactors. The atomic bombs used in World War ll. Apex.
The atomic mass of the radium isotope 226Ra is 226,025 409 8(25).
These expressions are synonyms; sometimes atomic symbol is used for the name of an isotope.
In civil nuclear plants, the heat produced by fission in U-235 is used to generate electricity.
The atomic weight of any given isotope of an element is the result of the protons and the neutrons. The number of protons is the same as the atomic number, so if you subtract the atomic number from the atomic weight, voila, there is the number of neutrons. Bear in mind that elements have more than one isotope, and each isotope has a different number of neutrons. So the atomic weight is the result of a mixture of isotopes that appear in nature.
used by all cells for energy production
The atom of the isotope caesium 133; the definition of second in SI is based on this atom.
elements used in atomic energy are uranium , thorium , radium, plutonium,etc.
A nuclear reactor is a plant which deliver electricity and (or) heat.The function principle is the release of energy from nuclear fission of fissile materials as the isotope uranium-235.
Scandium is not used in the production of energy.
