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 depicts the production of nuclear
power
using uranium as a raw material. It has 6 stages that begin with how uranium is mined out to use it as a raw material for energy and later the remnants are buried underground in containers.
Firstly
, the uranium
that is
present under the earth, is removed and collected to be taken to the processing plant. The raw material is processed and nourished with other materials to be converted into U-235. U-235 is
then
later used by
power
plants to generate electricity with the help of
power
generators.
Although
, the source of energy usually lasts for about 4 years, some of the spent fuel could be re-processed back into U-235 to be used by
power
generators in the nuclear plant.
However
, the remaining fuel cannot be converted back to be used again so they are placed in containers to be buried underground.
