Nuclear Reactors 539 - China and Russia Are Making Progress On Close Nuclear Fuel Cycle
Enriched uranium is the primary fuel for nuclear reactors. Minerals containing uranium are common and there are many deposits of ore that can provide all the fule that the world needs. On the other hand, just like any commodity, problems with supply can arise. Some countries are researching the use of special “fast neutron” reactors to generate fissile materials that can be used for fuel in reactors.

Nuclear Fusion 41 - Research At University Of New South Wales Being Commercialized By HB11 Energy
I write mainly about nuclear fission reactors in this blog because they exist and generate about eleven percent of the electricity in the world. Commercial nuclear fusion power reactors do not exist yet.
