Which mineral is used for generating atomic or nuclear power?

A. Coal

B. Bauxite

C. Uranium

D. Platinum

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Uranium is the most widely used fuel by nuclear power plants for nuclear fission. Nuclear power plants use a certain type of uranium U-235 as fuel because its atoms are easily split apart. Although uranium is about 100 times more common than silver, U-235 is relatively rare at just over 0.7% of natural uranium.
