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. You should write at least 150 words.
The diagram illustrates the process by which
uranium
is used to produce nuclear power. Overall
, there are six stages that introduce it from ground to waste.
Primarily, uranium
is extracted from the ground by a mining mechanism. When the process is completed, uranium
ore is found, converted, and enriched to produce fuel
pellets of U-235, which are more practical to use than the mined ones. Lastly
, fuel
is introduced into power plants, where it begins the process of uranium
fission, then
powers the generators, and thus
electricity is generated and distributed.
After a period of four years, the fuel
has been consumed and removed, and there are a number of fuels that can’t be recycled and directed into containers and become waste; however
, there is a quantity of fuel
that can be reprocessed and generates
more electricity.
Correct subject-verb agreement
generate
Therefore
, nuclear energy can be considered renewable as uranium
can be re-used
and increase power generation; meanwhile, not all pellets can be re-processed and have to be destroyed.Correct your spelling
reused
