Nuclear fuel is a material that can be used to produce nuclear energy through fusion or fission. Naturally occurring nuclear fuel is uranium, which is mostly U-238 but also contains small amounts of U-235 and U-234. Additional fissionable materials like Pu-239 and U-233 can be artificially produced from U-238 and Th-232. Nuclear fuel is considered efficient if it produces a large amount of energy while generating only a small amount of pollutants.
