Key Stage 3
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 which can be easily transferred into its thermal energy store.
- Nuclear Fuel transfers energy to the thermal energy store during a nuclear reaction.
- Nuclear Fuel is very dangerous because it is radioactive which causes harm to living organisms.
- When nuclear fuel is used the waste products are still radioactive so they must be buried deep underground where they cannot harm living organisms.
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 which can be easily transferred into its thermal energy store.
- The most common nuclear fuel is Uranium-235.
- Nuclear Fuel transfers energy to the thermal energy store during a nuclear reaction.
- Nuclear Fuel is very dangerous because it is radioactive which causes harm to living organisms.
- When nuclear fuel is used the waste products are still radioactive so they must be buried deep underground where they cannot harm living organisms.
