The diagram below shows how uranium is used in the production of nuclear power. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The processed diagram illustrates the stages of the production of nuclear power using

uranium

. Generally, there are 6 main steps of nuclear energy production,

while

some of the phases,

such

as 3, 4 and 5, could be repeatable.

The first step is

the mining process of

uranium

from the Earth. After that, there is the conversion of

uranium

ore and it should be enriched in order to make

This

about four years, and as soon as

uranium

fuel

becomes spent, it is removed. In that stage, there are two options. The first one is when some of the spent

fuel

can be re-processed and reused

fuel

that cannot be reprocessed is stored in containers and buried.
