Nuclear Fuel

Nuclear fuel is generally any material fissioned in the reactor to produce heat. The most common nuclear fuels are fissile materials such as uranium-235 and plutonium-239. Nuclear Fuel Nuclear fuel is generally any material that can be 'burned' by nuclear fission or fusion to derive nuclear energy..

What is Nuclear Recycling?

Closing the fuel cycle involves recycling the nuclear waste as new fuel. Since the main component of nuclear waste is Uranium-238 (which can be transmuted to Plutonium, especially with advanced breeder reactors), we can get more energy out of the waste than in a once-through cycle (see factoid 2 to see how much) .
