What are the advantages and disadvantages of using uranium as a fuel?
Uranium is very important as a nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants. But uranium is toxic and radioactive.
Do nuclear power plants use uranium to produce energy?
Yes, uranium is the most important nuclear fuel now.
Is plutonium used in power plants?
Yes, plutonium is a very important fuel for nuclear reactors.
What is the primary fuel used in nuclear power plants?
Uranium-235, enriched to about 5% from its naturally occurring level of 0.7%.
Do nuclear power plants produce radioactive substances?
Yes, but they also consume them. The uranium fuel used has a halflife measured in billions of years, the materials they produce have halflives measured in only hundreds or thousands of years. So in the long term balance of things they consume radioactive substances faster than they produce them.
What is the fuel nuclear power plants?
Petrolium
