Radioactive Isotopes

Created by

Paul Evangelou

Cards (5)

Uranium-235 can be used in nuclear power stations to produce electricity
The radioactive isotope is bombarded by neutrons resulting in a lot of heat being produced
Small amount of radioactive fuel produces large amount of heat
Advantages of radioactive isotopes: lots of energy is from a small amount and no CO2
Disadvantage of radioactive isotopes: radioactive waste produced and non-renewable
