What kinds of people use plutonium?
Plutonium is primarily used by nations for nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors. It is a highly regulated material due to its potential for use in weapons. Scientists also use plutonium for research and testing purposes.
What two fuels are used in nuclear power?
The two fuels commonly used in nuclear power are uranium-235 and plutonium-239. These fuels undergo nuclear fission reactions in the reactor to generate heat energy which is then used to produce electricity.
What is the scientific use of Neptunium?
Neptunium has only limited uses:- precursor in the preparation of plutonium-238- sensor in the detectors of high energy neutronsIn USA are studied applications of neptunium in nuclear weapons or as nuclear fuels.
Is americium used in nuclear weapons?
Yes, americium can be used in some types of nuclear weapons as a neutron source for initiating the chain reaction needed for a nuclear explosion. However, its use in modern nuclear weapons is limited.
What are the two fuels used in nuclear power station?
The two fuels used in nuclear power stations are uranium-235 and plutonium-239. These fuels undergo nuclear fission reactions to generate heat, which is used to produce steam and ultimately generate electricity.
Why was plutonium wanted?
