Name the sources of nuclear energy
Nuclear fusion
1. Nuclear energy is the result of nuclear fission of fissile nuclei as uranium-235, uranium-233, plutonium-239, etc. 2. Industrial nuclear energy has as source nuclear reactors.
Plutonium applications: - fuel for nuclear reactors - explosive for nuclear weapons - neutron source - isotopic power source - isotopic heat source - in the past, power source for pacemakers
Most commonly used material to produce nuclear energy in Uranium.
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
Uranium 235
Uranium (or plutonium) is a source of energy (nuclear fuel) in nuclear power plants.
- energy source - radiation source - tracer - fuel for nuclear reactors - explosive for nuclear bombs
