Why do you use uranium and plutonium in the reactor?
Uranium and plutonium can be used as nuclear fuels for nuclear reactors.
What Metal used in nuclear reactions?
Nuclear energy appears as heat in a nuclear reactor. It comes from the fission of uranium or plutonium
Is plutonium the result of of the alpha decay of uranium?
Plutonium is not related to uranium isotopes radioactive decay; plutonium is obtained by nuclear reactions from uranium isotopes only in nuclear reactors.
Are uranium pellets used in fuel rods that provide the energy for nuclear reactors?
Yes, many reactors use uranium as their nuclear fuel, but some use plutonium or a uranium-plutonium mix.
Where does uranium and plutonium come from?
Uranium is a natural element extracted from ores. Plutonium is an artificial element obtained in a nuclear reactor by nuclear reactions from uranium 238.
Why do you use uranium and plutonium in the reactor?
Uranium and plutonium can be used as nuclear fuels for nuclear reactors.
Does nuclear power have uranium in it?
Either Uranium or Plutonium.
Which is the best fuel for nuclear bomb plutonium or uranium?
Plutonium
Is plutonium limited?
Plutonium is obtained from uranium irradiated in nuclear reactors, consequently the production of plutonium depends on uranium resources.
What are the limitation of plutonium?
Plutonium is obtained from uranium irradiated in nuclear reactors, consequently the production of plutonium depends on uranium resources.
What Metal used in nuclear reactions?
Nuclear energy appears as heat in a nuclear reactor. It comes from the fission of uranium or plutonium
What is the nuclear decay equation for plutonium 239?
The first step is an alpha decay to (guess what!) uranium 235. You can probably take it from there.
What is the source of plutonium?
Plutonium is obtained by the irradiation of uranium in nuclear reactors; the "burned" nuclear fuels are recycled to extract plutonium.
Is plutonium the result of of the alpha decay of uranium?
Plutonium is not related to uranium isotopes radioactive decay; plutonium is obtained by nuclear reactions from uranium isotopes only in nuclear reactors.

What are some Sources of nuclear energy?
Uranium and plutonium
