Nuclear Fuel in 60 Seconds

What can you do in a minute? Make a cup of tea. Wash your hands. Learn about nuclear fuel.

Unlike a fossil fueled power plant, nuclear plants don't burn anything. Instead, they harness the energy created from nuclear fission, making them not only clean but highly efficient. In fact, nuclear energy is the only carbon-free energy source that also generates large amounts of power around-the-clock, all thanks to its fuel.

Although it can be a complex subject, our nuclear energy guide, Anne, is here to give you the essentials on nuclear fuel in just 60 seconds.
