Interpretation:
Of the given statements which are true about the uranium used in nuclear reactors and the plutonium that it is not used for nuclear power plants or nuclear weapons are to be stated.
Concept introduction: A nuclear reactor is defined as a device that is used to control and initiate a sustained nuclear chain reaction. In nuclear power plants, nuclear reactors are used for the generation of electricity. They require heat to produce steam through a physical process.
