The answer is FALSE. Products of Nuclear fission of Uranium are highly radioactive.
No, the daughter products of nuclear explosions do not produce stable isotopes of uranium. Instead, uranium isotopes can undergo fission or neutron capture to form various other radioactive isotopes as byproducts.
1. Some of the waste products from the spent fuel are very radioactive. 2. The plants are expensive to build, and to insure.
Clearly the main nuclear elements are plutonium, URANIUM, and a not widely known one thorium
The raw material for nuclear fission is typically a heavy radioactive element, such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239. These materials are bombarded by neutrons to induce a fission reaction, releasing energy in the form of heat and additional neutrons.
The fission of uranium-235 is an example of natural radioactivity, as uranium-235 is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope. Artificial radioactivity, on the other hand, refers to the radioactivity induced in a normally stable element through processes like nuclear reactions or particle bombardment.

We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.

Uranium is one of the most common radioactive elements used in nuclear reactions. It undergoes nuclear fission, where its nucleus is split into smaller fragments, releasing energy in the process.
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.
After the nuclear fission of uranium-235 many fission products (other elements) are formed.
Nuclear energy relies on radioactive materials, such as uranium and plutonium, to undergo a process called fission, where atomic nuclei split and release energy. This energy is harnessed to generate electricity. However, this process also produces radioactive waste, which needs to be carefully managed due to its potentially harmful effects on living organisms and the environment.
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.

Uranium-238 and Uranium-235 do not release neutrons spontaneously in nature in the same way they do during a fission process. Neutrons are typically required to initiate the fission process in nuclear reactions. In natural settings, radioactive decay processes such as alpha and beta decay occur in uranium isotopes, but not neutron release.
