No, coal fired plants send huge amounts of uranium oxides up their stacks.
France has 56 nuclear reactors in operation. This makes France one of the countries with the highest reliance on nuclear energy in the world.
As of 2021, India has 22 operational nuclear reactors across seven nuclear power plants. India has plans to increase its nuclear energy capacity through the construction of additional reactors in the coming years.
In 2007, US nuclear power plants generated 806.5 billion KWh. This was 19.4 percent of total US electricity. 69 PWR and 35 BWR reactors contributed to this total. Source: Nuclear Energy Institute, www.nei.org
Nuclear reactors are used to generate electricity by harnessing the energy from nuclear fission. This process produces a large amount of energy from a small amount of fuel, making nuclear power a reliable and efficient source of electricity. Additionally, nuclear reactors produce minimal greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional fossil fuels.
Uranium is the primary element used in nuclear reactors for energy generation. When uranium atoms undergo nuclear fission, they release a significant amount of energy that can be harnessed for various applications, including electricity generation.
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
In nuclear fission reactors
Nuclear energy is released when U-235 undergoes fission, and that takes place in nuclear reactors (or nuclear weapons). So a reactor is a thing constructed to produce nuclear energy.

The use of nuclear energy
Uranium.
Nuclear energy, because uranium is a nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
As of 2021, India has 22 operational nuclear reactors across seven nuclear power plants. India has plans to increase its nuclear energy capacity through the construction of additional reactors in the coming years.
Only in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors.
They provide energy.
