Name the fuel used in a nuclear reactor?

It varies but the most common is the isotope, urainium-235


What is a used fuel in nuclear power plants?

The used fuel in a nuclear power plant is the nuclear fuel being discharged from the nuclear reactor after being irradiated during reactor operation. It is usually composed of trans-uranium heavy elements, a wide variety of fission products (that resulted from the nuclear fission processes in the nuclear reactor) and products of radioactive decay (produced before and after fuel discharge from the nuclear reactor).


What is used for fule in nuclear reactor?

Typically, Uranium-235 is used as fuel in nuclear reactors.


In what part of a nuclear reactor is the fuel is located?

The fuel in a nuclear reactor is located in the fuel rods, which are typically made of materials such as enriched uranium or plutonium. These fuel rods are where the nuclear fission reaction takes place, producing heat that is used to generate electricity.


What are fuel cells in a neclear reactor?

Fuel cells in a nuclear reactor are the structural components where nuclear fission reactions occur, generating heat. This heat is used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. The fuel cells contain the nuclear fuel (such as uranium) and control rods to regulate the nuclear reactions.


What part of a nuclear reactor would most likely contain plutonium?

This part is the core of the nuclear reactor containing the nuclear fuel.


What is a fuel rod in a nuclear reactor?

A fuel rod is a long, slender tube that contains the fuel pellets (usually uranium or plutonium) used in a nuclear reactor. These fuel rods generate heat through nuclear fission reactions, which is then used to produce electricity. Multiple fuel rods are assembled together in a fuel assembly to power the reactor.


Is nuclear an atomic fuel?

Fuel used in a nuclear reactor is uranium, the active isotope is uranium 235 which is fissile.


What is the function of a nuclear fuel in nuclear reactor?

The function of nuclear fuel in a nuclear reactor is to undergo controlled fission reactions, releasing energy in the form of heat. This heat is used to generate steam, which drives turbines to produce electricity. The fuel typically used is uranium or plutonium.


The part of a nuclear reactor in which the fuel is located is called the?

The part of a nuclear reactor in which the fuel is located is called the core. This is where the nuclear fission reactions take place, producing heat that is used to generate electricity.


Is silver used in the operation of nuclear power plants?

No, Enriched Uranium-235 is used in a nuclear reactor as the fuel in the fuel rods and boron is used in the control rods.
