Nuclear fuel usually used in a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) is__________________?
Correct answer: B. Enriched uranium
- A. Plutonium
- B. Enriched uranium
- C. Natural uranium
- D. Thorium
Explanation
A BWR generally uses low-enriched uranium fuel, usually uranium dioxide enriched in U-235. Natural uranium contains too little U-235 for efficient operation in an ordinary light-water reactor.
