Uranium is a radioactive metal that generates enormous amounts of energy through a process called nuclear fission. A small amount of uranium can produce millions of times more energy than the same amount of coal or oil.
How is energy produced?
The main isotope in uranium, U-235, has a nucleus that splits when hit by a neutron.
This splitting (fission) releases a huge amount of heat and 2-3 new neutrons.
These new neutrons hit other U-235 nuclei, triggering a chain reaction that continuously produces energy.
How is the energy used?
In a nuclear reactor, uranium is formed into fuel pellets and placed in fuel rods.
The heat from fission turns water into steam.
The steam spins turbines, which drive generators to produce electricity.
This process is similar to coal or gas power plants but produces no carbon emissions.
