Not all nuclear fuels are used in fission chain reactions. For example, 238Pu and some other elements are used to produce small amounts of nuclear power by Radioactive Decay in Radiothermal Generator s, and other Atomic Batteries . Light isotopes such as 3H ( Tritium ) are used as fuel for Nuclear Fusion . If one looks at Binding Energy of specific Isotope s, there can be an energy gain from fusing most elements with a lower atomic number than iron, and fissioning isotopes with a higher atomic number than iron. against Binding Energy ]] NUCLEAR FISSION FUELS See Also: Nuclear fuel cycle |
