Uranium is the radioactive element used in nuclear power plants these days. This element has a very high energy content.
yes, Nuclear fission as used in nuclear power plants produces radioactive waste with long half lives. However, this creates no problems. This wastes are either confined in the spent nuclear fuel (that is stored either in wet storage or in dry storage facilities) or stored as vitrified nuclear waste.
Plutionium, Uranium and/or Americum can all be used to fuel a nuclear fission power station
The exact contents of radioactive waste from a nuclear power plant and radioactive fallout from a nuclear weapon can vary widely but are likely to be similar in their primary isotopes.The major difference between the radioactive waste from a nuclear power plant and radioactive fallout from a nuclear weapon is that the waste is normally contained and will not enter the environment (unless an accident happens) while the fallout is dispersed into the environment and is carried by the wind (sometimes all the way around the world multiple times).
Nuclear fission has been used in nuclear bombs and is currently being used in every nuclear power plant on the earth.
High level radioactive waste would have no potential for producing a nuclear explosion, so your question is puzzling. Perhaps you mean production of a dirty bomb, which terrorists might use to contaminate an area by spreading radioactive material around using a conventional explosive. That is obviously not justified unless you are a terrorist.Plutonium can be extracted from spent uranium fuel and used in nuclear weapons, but I would not describe it as high level radioactive waste, plutonium is only mildly radioactive.In fact I think at present in the US and in Russia, the stockpile of nuclear weapons is being reduced and some of the fissile material is going into civil nuclear reactor fuel.
Uranium
Uranium is the radioactive metal commonly used in nuclear power plants for fuel production. It undergoes fission reaction to generate heat, which is used to produce steam and generate electricity in nuclear reactors.
Yes, uranium is a metal. It is a heavy, silvery-white, radioactive metal that is part of the actinide series. Uranium is used in nuclear reactors for power generation and in nuclear weapons.
Uranium
The radioactive metal used in nuclear reactors is uranium. It is commonly used as fuel in nuclear reactors due to its ability to undergo nuclear fission, releasing large amounts of energy in the process.
Certain radioactive isotopes have an affinity or liking for certain body cells. Thus iodide given to a patient will bunch up and help machines "visualize" the thyroid so that a gland expert doctor can determine if there is something wrong.
Yes, the radioactive decay of Uranium-235 is used to produce power in nuclear power plants.
Uranium is the most used nuclear fuel. Plutonium can also be used, but it has to be separated from used uranium fuel
No, uranium is not commonly known as an "expectation metal." It is a radioactive element used primarily in nuclear reactors for generating power. The term "expectation metal" doesn't have a widely recognized or established meaning in the context of uranium.
I suppose you must mean uranium, it is slightly radioactive.
No, nuclear power and uranium are not the same. Nuclear power is a form of energy that is generated through nuclear reactions, while uranium is a radioactive element that is commonly used as fuel in nuclear power plants. Uranium is not the only fuel source for nuclear power, but it is the most commonly used.
Uranium is a solid metal, natural chemical element with 3 natural isotopes, radioactive, with the atomic number 92, used as fuel in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
