Which atomic species cannot be used as a nuclear fuel?
- A \({ }_{92}^{233} U\)
- B \({ }_{92}^{235} U\)
- C \({ }_{94}^{239} \mathrm{Pu}\)
- D \({ }_{92}^{238} U\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \({ }_{92}^{238} U\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Among the given options, \({ }_{92} \mathrm{U}^{238}\) is an isotope of uranium but cannot be used as a nuclear-fuel. U- 238 is non-fissile, i.e., it does not undergo fission by thermal neutrons. The energy released when U-238 absorbs a neutron is insufficient to carry out…
