How would you rank the nuclear fuels in order of being consumed from first to last with the following fuels carbon hydrogen and helium?

Answer 1

• First it should be emphasized that hydrogen and helium are not primary energy sources. They are named as secondary energy sources
• Carbon from coal has limited resources as any fossil fuel (although coal is more abundant than oil and natural gas)
• As for the nuclear fuel, the uranium mining is not the only source for the nuclear fuel. Other sources are:
• • as by product from phosphate and gold production industry
  • the dismantling of nuclear weapons
  • using nuclear breeder reactors
  • uranium production from water (Japanese R&D)
• The availability of uranium for uranium fuel persuades some scientists to consider nuclear energy as one of the renewable energy sources.

Answer 2

The order of nuclear fuel consumption from first to last would be carbon, hydrogen, and then helium. Carbon is a common fuel in nuclear reactions, followed by hydrogen which is also readily used in fusion reactions. Helium is a byproduct of some nuclear reactions rather than a primary fuel.
