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

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
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.
