Which nuclear fuel is usually used in thermal nuclear reactor to create fission?(a) U^234(b) U^235(c) U^236(d) U^237The question was posed to me in an interview.My query is from Nuclear Reactor Components topic in portion Nuclear Power Plant of Energy Engineering

Answer»

The correct answer is (b) U^235

The best I can explain: In a thermal nuclear REACTOR the fission induced by neutrons USING a fuel isotope U^235 is one of the SEVERAL isotopes USED in nuclear power generation. Fuel isotopes which are capable of being fissioned by thermal neutrons are called fissile’s.
