Nuclear Fuel

Nuclear fuel is any material that can be consumed to derive nuclear energy.

Nuclear Fuel

Fissile Materials(U235, Pu239)

Fertile Materials(Th232, U238)

Natural Uranium consists of 0.7% U235 and 99.3% of U238.

Nuclear Reactions

 

92U238 + 0n1 92U239 + r 93Np239 94Pu239

 Typical fission reaction:  

92U235 + 0n1 38Sr90 + 54Xe144 + 2 0n1 + r + 200MeV Reactor poisoning reaction: 52Te 135

53I135 54Xe135 55Cs135 56Ba135

(Stable)About 200MeV of energy is released during per fission.
