Answer:
U-235 is only found in about 0.7% of uranium found naturally, but it is well-suited for producing nuclear power. This is because it decays naturally by a process known as alpha radiation. ... When the uranium atom splits, lots of heat is released, as well as gamma radiation (high-energy photons).
