===Meaning===
'''Nuclear Fuel''' is a [[radioactive]] [[material]] which can be used to generate electricty[[electricity]].
===About Nuclear Fuel===
: '''Nuclear Fuel''' has [[energy]] in its [[Nuclear Potential Energy Store|nuclear potential energy store]] which can be easily transferred into its [[Thermal Energy Store|thermal energy store]].
: '''Nuclear Fuel''' transfers energy to the [[Thermal Energy Store|thermal energy store]] during a [[Nuclear Reaction|nuclear reaction]].
: '''Nuclear Fuel''' is very dangerous because it is [[radioactive]] which causes harm to living [[organism]]s.:When '''nuclear fuel''' is used the waste products are still [[radioactive]] so they must be buried deep underground where they cannot harm living [[organism]]s. ==Key Stage 4=====Meaning==='''Nuclear Fuel''' is a [[radioactive]] [[material]] which can be used to generate [[electricity]]. ===About Nuclear Fuel===: '''Nuclear Fuel''' has [[energy]] in its [[Nuclear Potential Energy Store|nuclear potential energy store]] which can be easily transferred into its [[Thermal Energy Store|thermal energy store]].: The most common '''nuclear fuel''' is [[Uranium-235]].: '''Nuclear Fuel''' transfers energy to the [[Thermal Energy Store|thermal energy store]] during a [[Nuclear Reaction|nuclear reaction]].: '''Nuclear Fuel''' is very dangerous because it is [[radioactive]] which causes harm to living [[organism]]s.
