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

Then

Uranium

is used in special generations, and
as a result
, electricity is made.
This
process could
last
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.
