What mineral is highly reactive and is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants?
Uranium is a highly reactive mineral that is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants
What else can I help you with?
What element is useful as a nuclear-powered battery?
plutonium-238 (note the different isotope)
What is the reaction between phosphorus with sulphuric acid?
Phosphorus reacts with sulphuric acid to produce phosphoric acid and sulphur dioxide gas. The reaction is exothermic and must be conducted with caution due to the potential for generating heat and gas release.
What fuels are used for nuclear weapons?
Uranium mainlyPlutonium and Uranium in fission weapons, Lithium deuteride in fusion weapons, occasionally small amounts of Tritium gas to boost fission weapons with fusion.
Does the sun have oxygen to support combustion?
No. The sun is about 1% oxygen but it does not carry out combustion. It is instead powered by nuclear fusion.
What is a heavy element used in nuclear bombs and nuclear energy?
When it comes to heavy elements that are used in weapons and in reactors, uranium and plutonium are both candidates. The first atomic bombs were made of uranium, and they are now pretty much made of plutonium. Some special nuclear reactors are powered by plutonium fuel, but most reactors for power generation use (enriched) uranium for fuel.

What is a highly reactive mineral that is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants?
Uranium is a highly reactive mineral that is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants
What is powered by a nuclear reactor?
A steam turbine/generating unit, or a naval vessel
Is nuclear energy available in Illinois?
According to the nuclear regulatory commission (NRC) there are at least 11 nuclear powered electrical generating plants. There are 4 facilities which have been shut down and are being decommissioned.
Why are you a nuclear powered human being?
"Why are you a nuclear powered human being?"
Name two advantages of generating electricity using nuclear power?
1. Increased electrical generating capacity provides for more complex weapons, environmental, navigation and control systems. 2. A little known fact is that all nuclear powered vessels can redirect their electrical generating capacity to power cities or towns that have lost their electrical power during a disaster.
What was the first nuclear powered vessel?
The first nuclear powered submarine was the USS Nautilus.
What are stars powered by?
Stars are powered by nuclear fusion
Is the sun nuclear powered?
Yes, nuclear fusion
What does the human body is nuclear powered mean?
Everything, so to speak, is nuclear powered, because everything ultimately gets its energy from the Sun, and the Sun's energy is fusion nuclear power. This includes the food we eat and the raw materials we are made of.
Do stars combust?
Stars are not powered by combustion; they are powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process.
What is the cost per gallon for gas for a nuclear powered car?
if the car is nuclear powered you wont need gas
How common are coal powered plants?
Coal powered electricity generating plants are quite common. Here in the provice of Ontario (where I live and type) I know that approximately one third of the electricity in the provice is generated by coal power (the other thirds being nuclear and hydroelectric).
