In a pure fission bomb, none. Only high purity Uranium-235, Plutonium-239, or Uranium-233 are fissile and thus suitable as fission fuel. In a boosted fission bomb small amounts of fusion fuel can be added in a hollow pit construction: gaseous deuterium and/or gaseous tritium or solid lithium-deuteride.
In a fusion bomb the fuel is solid lithium-deuteride. However the high energy (15 MeV) fusion neutrons can fission Uranium-238 used as the tamper causing it to provide as much as 90% of the final yield.
Fuels:
The fuel rods in a nuclear reactor system contain uranium. This uranium undergoes a nuclear reaction, generating heat used to produce electricity.
Typically, Uranium-235 is used as fuel in nuclear reactors.
Depending on: - the type of the nuclear reactor - the electrical power of the nuclear reactor - the type of the nuclear fuel - the enrichment of uranium - the estimated burnup of the nuclear fuel etc.
Fuel rods are used to hold pellets of uranium in nuclear reactors. These rods are typically made of a material like zirconium to encase the uranium pellets and control the nuclear fission reactions within the reactor.
Nuclear fission occurs in the reactor core of a nuclear reactor. This is where nuclear fuel, typically uranium, is arranged in such a way that it sustains a chain reaction of splitting atoms, releasing energy in the process.
The fuel used in a nuclear reactor is typically uranium. Specifically, the most common type of uranium used is uranium-235, which undergoes nuclear fission to produce energy in the reactor.
fuel
Fuel used in a nuclear reactor is uranium, the active isotope is uranium 235 which is fissile.
Nuclear energy, because uranium is a nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
The fuel rods in a nuclear reactor system contain uranium. This uranium undergoes a nuclear reaction, generating heat used to produce electricity.
The amount of uranium in a nuclear reactor depends on its size and design. On average, a typical reactor may contain several tons of uranium fuel in the form of uranium dioxide pellets that are stacked in fuel rods. For example, a 1000-megawatt nuclear reactor may have around 100-150 tons of uranium fuel.
The amount of uranium-235 used in a nuclear reactor depends on the design and size of the reactor. Typically, a reactor core contains several tons of uranium fuel, with the concentration of uranium-235 ranging from 3-5%. The fuel is arranged in fuel assemblies to sustain a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction.
Fuel cells in a nuclear reactor are the structural components where nuclear fission reactions occur, generating heat. This heat is used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. The fuel cells contain the nuclear fuel (such as uranium) and control rods to regulate the nuclear reactions.
Uranium-235 in combination with Uranium-238, enriched from natural levels of about 0.7% U-235 to about 5% U-235. There are other configurations, but this is the most common.
Typically, Uranium-235 is used as fuel in nuclear reactors.
Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239, or Uranium-233. Also many transuranics, like Americium make good fuel.
Depending on: - the type of the nuclear reactor - the electrical power of the nuclear reactor - the type of the nuclear fuel - the enrichment of uranium - the estimated burnup of the nuclear fuel etc.
