Which material is used in atomic reactors, facilitating nuclear fission for power generation?
Which material is used in atomic reactors, facilitating nuclear fission for power generation?
(a) Uranium
(b) Plutonium
(c) Hydrogen
(d) Carbon
Correct option is (a) Uranium. Uranium is used in atomic reactors. It undergoes nuclear fission to generate heat that is used to produce electricity. In a reactor, uranium is ruptured in two smaller atoms and release energy in the form of heat, which is hitch up to generate electricity through steam turbines.
