The 16 pages that link to Nuclear fuel, each with the reason it gives.

• Nuclear reactorNarrower topic: Fuel composition sets the reactor's energy source and neutron economy.

• Uranium-235Narrower topic: Uranium-235 is a principal fissile component of many reactor fuels.

• Nuclear power plantRelated: Its fission sustains the reactor’s heat-producing chain reaction.

• Enrichment of uraniumRelated: Enrichment supplies fuel with an isotope composition suited to many reactor designs.

• Pressurized water reactorRelated: Fuel assemblies provide the fissile material that heats the primary water.

• ThoriumNarrower topic: Thorium-bearing materials are considered an alternative source of reactor fuel.

• Nuclear safetyRelated: Fuel composition and condition influence reactivity, heat generation, and radioactive inventories.

• Spent nuclear fuelNarrower topic: Spent fuel is the irradiated form of the material loaded into a reactor.

• Isotopic abundanceRelated: Fuel preparation often adjusts the proportion of fissile uranium-235.

• Fissile materialNarrower topic: Fissile isotopes are the chain-reaction-sustaining constituents of many fission fuels.

• Boiling water reactorRelated: Fuel rods provide the fission heat that generates steam.

• Fluorite structureRelated: Uranium dioxide’s fluorite-type ceramic structure makes it a widely used reactor fuel.

• Small modular reactorRelated: Fuel composition and enrichment determine which reactor designs an SMR can use.

• Nuclear engineeringRelated: Fuel composition and form constrain reactor performance, fabrication, and disposal.

• Pressurized heavy-water reactorRelated: Natural uranium is commonly used, while fuel bundles can be replaced during operation.
