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 given illustration presents information on the process of the usage of
uranium
in nuclear energy generation.
Overall
, as can be seen, it is a man-made 6-step production, which starts with the uranium
extraction and ends with the burial of radioactive waste.
The first step is
to mine uranium
from the ground. The second action is conversion and enrichment: uranium
's quality is being improved to make little pieces of fuel called U-235. Next,
these pellets are used to produce nuclear electricity at the power plant.
After around four years the U-235 energy cannot be used again and step 4 begins, which is disposal. However
, some of that fuel can be recycled and utilized again to generate electric power, so the third stage can be repeated again. The final phase is to store the needless radioactive energy from the uranium
in special tanks and bury them because it is not possible to reuse the fuel.Submitted by nyannche on
