In physics and nuclear fission.
A neutron is fired at a uranium-235 atom which then splits into daughter nuclei, the daughter nuclei releases more netrons which splits more and more uranium-235 atoms. This is called a chain reaction. The chain reaction releases heat which can then be used to turn a turbine which turns a generator and generates electricity. A moderator can be used to slow down neutrons and the chain reaction. When the neutrons are slowed down to the right speed, control/fuel rods absorbs the neutrons which slows down the reaction rate. This makes nuclear fission controllable, unlike nuclear fusion which is uncontrollable.
Hope this helps
Uranium-235 is commonly used as a fuel in nuclear reactors. When uranium-235 nuclei undergo fission, it releases energy that can be harnessed to generate electricity.
Uranium-235 is used as the fissile material in nuclear weapons. When a uranium-235 atom undergoes fission, it releases a large amount of energy, which can create a nuclear explosion. The critical mass required for a nuclear chain reaction to occur is achieved by compressing uranium-235 using conventional explosives.
Nuclear stations use uranium-235 as the primary fuel element for generating nuclear power. Uranium-235 undergoes fission reactions in a controlled manner to produce heat energy that is then used to generate electricity through turbines.
The primary fuel used in nuclear power plants is uranium. Specifically, the most common type of uranium used is uranium-235, which undergoes nuclear fission to generate heat that is used to produce electricity.
Uranium-235 was used in the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
A Uranium mine can not create electricity.
1 kg of uranium-235 is equivalent to 24.10ex.6 kWh.
a nuclear power plant produces electricity from uranium 235
Nuclear fission of uranium-235 release an immense amount of energy.Uranium is used as fuel in nuclear reactors.
Uranium-235 is commonly used as a fuel in nuclear reactors. When uranium-235 nuclei undergo fission, it releases energy that can be harnessed to generate electricity.
The isotope uranium-235 (or uranium-233) under nuclear fission emit the energy of fission. This energy is transformed in heat and electricity.
Uranium-235 is an isotope of uranium making up about 0.72% of natural uranium.
Approx. 0,7 % uranium 235 in natural uranium.
When uranium-235 is added to natural uranium, it increases the overall percentage of uranium-235 in the mixture. This can make the uranium more suitable for use in nuclear reactors or weapons, as uranium-235 is more fissile (more easily split by neutrons) than uranium-238.

Uranium-235, found in natural Uranium at a level of 0.72%Uranium-233, produced in breeder reactors from Thorium-232
Highly efficient energy production through nuclear fission. Lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels. Can be used for both electricity generation and medical purposes, such as cancer treatment.
