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 figure depicts the process by which nuclear
power
is produced using uranium. A glance at the graph reveals that there are four main stages in nuclear power
production: raw material harvesting, power
generation, recycling, and waste management or storage.
To begin
the process, the workers first use a specific type of machine to extract the uranium from the ground. Then
, the ore is transformed and purified to produce U-235, a kind of fuel pellet. Once the U-235 is produced, it is moved to a power
plant to generate nuclear-based electricity. The useful life of this
type of clean energy is approximately four years. So when the energy is totally spent, it will either be removed from the power
plant or undergo a recycling process and be reused to produce more electricity. However
, if the fuel is non-recyclable, it will then
be transferred to a specific dump site, where it will be stored underground.Submitted by emteeme on
