- They do this by using nuclear reactors in combination with the Rankine cycle, where the heat generated by the reactor converts water into steam, which spins a turbine and a generator.
- Uranium
- It is a silvery-white element.
- Its atomic number is 92 and its mass number is 238.
- This element was discovered by German Chemist MH Klaproth.
- It is also called the metal of hope.
- It does not occur in the free state and is extracted from pitch blended ore.
- It is used in the atomic reactor as nuclear fuel.
- Gasoline
- It is a derivative product of crude oil or petroleum.

- It is not used in its crude form. Different additives are added like ethanol to use as fuel for passenger vehicles.
- Gold
- It is a soft, bright yellow-colored lustrous metal.
- Its atomic number is 79 and its mass number is 197.
- It occurs in nature in free element form or in alluvial deposits or in the form of ores.
- It is used in making ornaments, coins, electroplating, and in the sugar and pharmaceutical industries.
- Radium
- Radium is a silvery-white metal that does not occur free in nature.
- It is a chemical element with the symbol Ra and atomic number 83.
