Which of the following minerals is needed for generation of nuclear power?

A. Potassium

B. Aluminium

C. Cadmium

D. Uranium

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Uranium is needed for generation of nuclear power. The isotope U-235 is important because under certain conditions it can readily be split, yielding a lot of energy. It is therefore said to be 'fissile' and we use the expression 'nuclear fission'. Meanwhile, like all radioactive isotopes, they decay.
