What else can I help you with?
Uranium-235 is used to fuel nuclear power plants What is the main use of uranium-235?
That is the main use, to fuel nuclear power plants
What fuel can electric power plants use as fuel?
The most common way power plants generate electricity is by burning coal. Some use"green" alternatives like solar power or wind power, but the most common is coal. There's a few out there that use nuclear power to generate electricity, but not that many.
Advantages of steam power plant over diesel power plant?
1. Can be made in much greater output plants 2. Steam plants can use a variety of fuel sources including nuclear fuel, whilst diesel fuel is more expensive and best reserved for transport use.
What is a plant that uses coal petroleum and gas as sources of energy?
Collectively, power plants that use natural gas, oil, or coal are known as "fossil fuel power plants" but they are usually identified by the primary fuel and are not freely interchangeable.
Is chromium used as fuel nuclear power plants?
No, chromium is not used as a fuel in nuclear power plants. In nuclear power plants, the most common fuel is uranium, which undergoes fission reactions to generate heat that is used to produce electricity. Chromium is mainly used in stainless steel components within the nuclear reactors for their corrosion resistance properties.
What is the fuel nuclear power plants?
Petrolium
Why are solar power plants better than coal fired power plants?
because solar power is better for the earth. coal is a fossil fuel so it is getting scarce. wind powered is the best to use.
Why can petrol not be used in power stations?
Typically petrol refers to gasoline. It can be used in power plants using internal combustion engines to turn generators. However, other plants cannot use it due to it's high volatility and added costs required to store and use it. More often than not, internal combustion engine power plants use natural gas, diesel fuel or light residual fuel oils for power due to safety and reliability concerns. Large fossil fuel plant use either natural gas, coal or heavy residual fuel oils, for cost and handling reasons.
What element is fuel in nuclear power plants?
Uranium is the primary fuel used in nuclear power plants. Specifically, uranium-235 is the isotope that undergoes nuclear fission to generate heat in these plants.
How much uranium is used in power plants?
Typically, power plants use uranium fuel in the form of uranium dioxide pellets. A typical commercial nuclear power plant may use several tons of uranium fuel each year, depending on its size and level of operation.
Is Silver used as a fuel in nuclear power plants?
NO!
Where do you use fossil fuels?
As fuel for power plants. vehicle engines, coal power plants, oil for heating, etc. It's all fossil fuels. burn them to get heat and use the heat to make energy in some fashion, basically.
