U-235 content in enriched uranium, that is normally used in power reactors (e.g., at Tarapur atomic power plant), is about _____________ percent?

Correct answer: C. 3

  • A. 85
  • B. 50
  • C. 3
  • D. 97

Explanation

Power-reactor fuel is commonly enriched to about 3% U-235, compared with roughly 0.7% in natural uranium. Values such as 85% or 97% correspond to highly enriched material, not normal power-reactor fuel.
