Which of the following statement/(s) is/are true with regard to "Nuclear Fuel Cycle"? A. It is a series of industrial processes which involve the production of electricity from uranium in nuclear power reactors. B. The nuclear fuel cycles start with the mining of uranium and end with the disposal of nuclear waste. C. To prepare uranium for use in a nuclear reactor, it undergoes the steps of mining, milling, conversion, enrichment, and fuel fabrication. Choose the correct answer from the options given below: Correct Answer Only A and C The correct answer ​Only A and C. Key Points Nuclear Fuel Cycle: ​The nuclear fuel cycle consists of front-end steps that prepare uranium for use in nuclear reactors and back-end steps to safely manage, prepare, and dispose of used or spent but still highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel. Uranium is the most widely used fuel for nuclear fission in nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plants use a certain type of uranium U235 as fuel because its atoms can be easily divided. Although uranium is generally about 100 times higher than silver, U235 is relatively rare and only accounts for more than 0.7% of natural uranium. Uranium concentrate is separated from uranium ore in a uranium plant or separated from sludge in an on-site leaching facility. It is then processed in a conversion and enrichment facility to increase the U235 level of commercial nuclear reactors to 3% -5% and made into reactor fuel pellets and fuel rods at the reactor fuel fabrication plant. They use 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. The nuclear reactor is a key component of a nuclear power plant, as it contains the fuel and its nuclear fission chain reaction, along with all of the nuclear waste products. Uranium is the dominant nuclear fuel used in nuclear reactors, and its fission reactions produce heat within a reactor. This heat is then transferred to the reactor's coolant, which provides steam to the turbine of the nuclear power plant.
