The diagram displays the process followed during the production of nuclear power from uranium.
Overall, we can clearly see that nuclear power production using uranium involves six stages, whereby from step 4 some spent fuel can be salvaged and re-used.
The first step of the process involves excavation of uranium from the ground using heavy machinery. Once uranium is obtained it is then processed and developed into U-235 fuel pellets which is utilized to power generators to produce electricity. This is the same electricity that is transferred through transformers for household use. The Fuel becomes used up and is then removed after a period of four years has elapsed. Spent fuel is then re-processed and re-used to make electricity and the process continues. However, not all spent fuel is fit to be recycled, and that take a detour, to step six where it is packed in large drums and buried back into the ground.
