100 POINTS ( I NEED FAST ANSWERS ) Why do we use uranium for nuclear energy?

Uranium is the fuel most widely used by nuclear plants for nuclear fission. ... Nuclear power plants use a certain kind of uranium, referred to as U-235, for fuel because its atoms are easily split apart. Although uranium is about 100 times more common than silver, U-235 is relatively rare.

Explanation:

i looked it up

In a nuclear reactor the uranium fuel is assembled in such a way that a controlled fission chain reaction can be achieved. The heat created by splitting the U-235 atoms is then used to make steam which spins a turbine to drive a generator, producing electricity.
