Predominantly enriched uranium, but some reactors can use natural uranium.
Uranium fuel.
Fossil-fuel power stations, hydroelectric power stations and nuclear power stations.
Uranium
See www.world-nuclear.org and do your own research
unlike fossil fuel power stations that burn coal, oil or gas nuclear power stations use atoms to keep it brief: the atoms in the reactor split apart and releases heat energy. unlike the fossil fuel power stations which just simply burn fossil fuels another difference is that nuclear power can be very dangerous and can have disastrous effects if something goes wrong, an example of this would be the disaster at Chernobyl in Russia. also the nuclear power plants produce a large amount of radioactive waste which can take millions of years to degrade. please add to this
That is the main use, to fuel nuclear power plants
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel.
Use of coal, a fossil fuel, would be lessened by increasing the use of nuclear power.
You don't need nuclear power, energy can be generated using other methods, fossil fuels, hydro-electric etc. However nuclear power does reduce a countries reliance on fossil fuel, which can be particularly important for countries with few fossil fuel reserves of their own. Nuclear power stations do not release CO2 into the atmosphere so do not directly contribute to global warming. Many countries are looking at an investment in nuclear power to help meet CO2 emissions targets. Nuclear power stations are also required to make plutonium for nuclear weapons. Plutonium does not occur naturally and can only be made from uranium in nuclear reactors. Any country with a nuclear weapons program will have a civilian nuclear power industry for this reason.
Yes, they import it and put it in the reactor core where rods slow down the energy given off then it turns a generator which creates power
It is used for electricity in nuclear power plants == == Nuclear power is used to heat steam which then turns turbines, which generate electricity in nuclear power stations and also to provide propulsion and power on board nuclear submarines.
Them most commonly used fuels in UK power stations are fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and oil. Nuclear fuels like plutonium and uranium are sometimes used as well.
