Uranium can be mined and then immediately used in a nuclear power plant.true/false

Answer 1

Answer:

It is false to say that Uranium can be mined and then immediately used in a nuclear power plant.

Explanation:

Uranium is an element obtained by mining, but as all the elements obtained in this way, they need to pass through a special process because they are obtained in the mine with a mix of other compounds, rocks, sand, etc. that reduces the purity of the element.  

Once it is taken from the mine it pass through a process of size reduction, a chemical process (because the uranium that is needed in the nuclear power plant it is an isotope of the natural uranium taken from the mine), washing and drying.

The most common way to Uranium be used is to transform it into tablets to be put then inside a fuel stick, this one it is ready and satisfy the security characteristics to be use in a nuclear power plant.
