Description Fuel elements for nuclear reactors are commonly used in nuclear reactors. Fuel elements are commonly made out of uranium dioxide and enriched uranium. They are placed in the core of a nuclear reactor, where they are hit with neutrons. This causes the fuel to change from uranium-238 into plutonium-239, which is a radioactive material. The plutonium-239 then builds up on the fuel element, and the reactor can be shut down. The fuel elements are then removed and replaced with new fuel elements.
