Detailed explanation-1: -Uranium is the fuel most widely used by nuclear plants for nuclear fission. Uranium is considered a nonrenewable energy source, even though it is a common metal found in rocks worldwide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fission in Nuclear Power Plants We use nuclear reactors to generate electricity making use of the nuclear fission reaction. The heat from nuclear fission is passed to a working fluid, which in turn runs through steam turbines. These either drive a ship’s propellers or turn electrical generators’ shafts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nuclear energy is produced from uranium, a nonrenewable energy source whose atoms are split (through a process called nuclear fission) to create heat and, eventually, electricity.
