Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Uranium
First
we should know what an atomic pile is. An atomic pile is a nuclear reactor that
uses controlled nuclear fission to generate energy. The most common reactor
consists of a large assembly of graphite (an allotropic form of carbon) blocks
having rods of uranium metal, which acts as the fuel.
The fuel in atomic pile is uranium since it
is a substance capable of undergoing nuclear fission and
releases a large amount of energy.
Hence, option (C) is correct.
