Uranium 235 Rods

Rods of Uranium 235 are the key component to nuclear energy. The Springfield Nuclear Power Plant uses rods of Uranium 235. In the Plant's children's video, Nuclear Power: Our Misunderstood Friend in Homer's Odyssey, three rods of Uranium 235 meet up with Smilin' Joe Fission and are incredibly hot. Joe gives them a dip in the pool, where they boil the water and create nuclear energy. Their leftovers become Nuclear Waste.
