Uranium-235 is used to fuel nuclear power plants What is the main use of uranium-235?
That is the main use, to fuel nuclear power plants
Which element is the main fuel in nuclear power plants?
Uranium, typically enriched to ~3% Uranium-235.
What is the main use of Uranium-238?
The most common uranium isotope found in nature is Uranium-238. This particular isotope is mostly used in nuclear weapons and as the fuel supply for nuclear power.
What element and plutonium are used in nuclear reactors?
Uranium is the main fuel used, but in some countries a mixture of uranium and plutonium is also used (MOX fuel)
What are the two main source's of energy?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) and nuclear fuel (uranium)
Why isn't uranium used anymore for the energy source of nuclear energy?
I don'y know why you should think that, uranium is the main feed of nuclear fuel though sometimes some plutonium is also used
Why is nuclear waste renewable?
Nuclear waste is NOT renewable. It is typically buried and sealed off because of its non-usability and the radiation damage that can afflict people from being in the vicinity of nuclear waste.
Is it true that coal and natural gas are the main fossil fuels used in nuclear power stations?
Fossil fuels are not used in nuclear power stations. Nuclear fuel is used (uranium)
What is the main resource of nuclear energy?
Uranium-238 is used in nuclear reactors.It produces energy by the nucleus being split by a proton hence nuclearreactor.
What is the main element used in creating nuclear energy?
Uranium
What are the elements used to make the nuclear power plant?
Enriched uranium is the main fuel. Due to the extension of the article, a link below was created to access Wikipedia with full information about Nuclear Power Plant.
What are the main countries in the US?
If you mean for nuclear power, most countries use enriched uranium, about 5 % U-235, in the form of uranium dioxide. There is also the possibility to use a mixed oxide fuel (MOX) which contains some Pu-239 as well as uranium.
