Detailed Solution

The element that is used in a nuclear power plant is Uranium.
Plutonium and Uranium are the main nuclear fuels for nuclear reactor plants. In a nuclear power station, this nuclear fuel undergoes a controlled chain reaction in the reactor to generate heat (here, nuclear energy is converted to heat energy). The most widely used fuel in nuclear plants for nuclear fission reactions is Uranium. Even though Uranium is generally found in rocks worldwide, it is a non-renewable energy source. A certain kind of Uranium, like U-235, is used in Nuclear power plants for fuel because its atoms are easily split.
