nuclear fuel

• Material, como el uranio o el plutonio, utilizado en reactores nucleares para generar energía mediante reacciones de fisión o fusión.

A material, such as uranium or plutonium, used in nuclear reactors to produce energy through fission or fusion reactions.

1. Fuel for nuclear reactionsB2formal

   A material, such as uranium or plutonium, used to produce energy in a nuclear reactor through fission.

   combustible nuclear

   • Nuclear fuel rods are carefully stored in the reactor core.
   • The plant uses enriched uranium as its primary nuclear fuel.
   • Spent nuclear fuel must be safely disposed of for thousands of years.

2. Energy source in nuclear powerB2formal

   The substance that undergoes nuclear fission to release heat, which is then used to generate electricity.

   combustible nuclear

   • The efficiency of nuclear fuel determines the output of the power station.
   • New types of nuclear fuel are being developed to reduce waste.
   • The reactor was refueled with fresh nuclear fuel last month.
