Answer 2

'Uranium' is a source of nuclear energy used by nuclear plants.

Option: A

Explanation:

• Uranium is the fuel that is mostly used by ‘nuclear power’ plants for ‘nuclear fission’.  

• Uranium is very common and is found in rocks globally all over the world.  

• In India, ‘nuclear power’ is the fifth source of electricity after coal, hydroelectricity, gas and wind power.  

• Uranium contains a lot of energy since burning one ‘uranium fuel pellet’ creates energy equivalent to one ton of coal.
