===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===Power==Meaning===: '''Nuclear Fuel''' is a [[Nuclear Fuelradioactive]] can be used to provide [[powermaterial]] by generating electricity that which can be sent used to houses and industry.{| class="wikitable"|-|generate [[File:NuclearPowerStationDiagram.png|center|600pxelectricity]].|-| style="height==About Nuclear Fuel===:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |A '''Nuclear Fuel''' has [[diagramenergy]] of a in its [[coalNuclear Potential Energy Store|nuclear potential energy store]] which can be easily transferred into its [[power stationThermal Energy Store|thermal energy store]].|}: 1.
