To produce the same amount of energy as one kilogram of uranium fuel pellets in a nuclear power station, approximately 3,500 kilograms of coal must be burnt. This is due to the higher energy density of uranium compared to coal.
Approximately 1,800 pounds of coal yield the same amount of energy as one barrel of oil. This is because coal has a lower energy density compared to oil, requiring a larger quantity of coal to produce the same amount of energy.
It generally takes about 3 tons of coal to produce the same amount of energy as 1 ton of uranium fuel pellets. This is due to the much higher energy density of uranium compared to coal. This illustrates the efficiency and energy potential of nuclear power compared to traditional fossil fuels.
Thermal coal is a broad classification that includes various types of coal used for generating electricity or heat. Steam coal, on the other hand, is a specific type of thermal coal with high heat-producing properties, making it suitable for powering steam turbines in electricity generation. In essence, steam coal is a subtype of thermal coal used specifically for generating steam to produce electricity.
When coal is burned, matter is not destroyed, but rather transformed. The coal is oxidized and undergoes chemical reactions to produce heat, carbon dioxide, and other byproducts. The total mass of the matter remains the same before and after burning.
Because the energy released by nuclear fission is extremely great compared with the energy released by coal burning.
he had an open coal fire and the same at his office which were fired by meger amounts of coal
Power plants fired by coal produce many pollutants (SOx, NOx, radiation, particulate, mercury etc.) the amounts vary by the size and fuel used at the site (not all coal produced the same contaminants). See the Links for data on typical coal plants.

1 kg of U-235 will produce as much energy as 1500 tons of coal
1 kg of 235U = 3 000 t coal
To produce the same amount of energy as one kilogram of uranium fuel pellets in a nuclear power station, approximately 3,500 kilograms of coal must be burnt. This is due to the higher energy density of uranium compared to coal.
Approximately 30,000 kilograms of coal would need to be burned to produce the same amount of energy as is generated by a kilogram of uranium fuel pellet. Uranium fuel has a much higher energy density than coal, making it a more efficient and cleaner source of energy.
To produce energy more than any other source can produce. A handful of Uranium can produce enough energy as the same as 4000 Train Load of coal [Given that each train load has around 15,000 Tons of Coal.]
They consume different amounts of renewable and nonrenewable resources because there countries are different and because they don't have the same renewable and nonrenewable resources
Coal is a fossil fuel that is burned to produce heat. Other fossil fuels that can do the same are oil and natural gas. Renewable energy can also be used to produce heat. Solar, hydro, geothermal, wind and biofuels can all be used to produce electricity for heating.
7 g of 235U is equivalent to approx. 20 t coal. For 1 kg of 235U - approx. 3 000 t coal.
