ABSTRACT
About Nuclear Fuels
Nuclear fuel is a substance used to initiate and sustain a nuclear fission reaction in nuclear power stations to generate heat. This heat powers turbine to produce usable electrical energy. A nuclear reactor is a structure in which fissile material undergoes a controlled, self-sustaining nuclear reaction with simultaneous release of energy, which can be used to generate electricity.
