Nuclear Fuel
Nuclear fuel is any material that can be consumed
to derive nuclear energy.

Nuclear Fuel
Fissile Materials
(U235, Pu239)

Fertile Materials
(Th232, U238)

Natural Uranium consists of 0.7% U235 and 99.3% of

U238.

Nuclear Reactions

92

U238 + 0n1 92U239 + r 93Np239 94Pu239

Typical fission reaction:

92

U235 + 0n1 38Sr90 + 54Xe144 + 2 0n1 + r + 200MeV

Reactor poisoning reaction:

Te 135 53I135 54Xe135 55Cs135 56Ba135
(Stable)
About 200MeV of energy is released during per fission.
