[Nuclear fuel transport](https://www.materialinsights.org/energy/e_nuclear_transport/) (energy) and [Uranium](https://www.materialinsights.org/energy/uranium/) (energy): 2 relationships.

## How they are linked

### 1. Energy flow

*Physical flow · 100% of flow · Uranium → Nuclear fuel transport*

Mined uranium is enriched, made into fuel assemblies and shipped to reactors.

- **100%** of Uranium's energy goes this way

### 2. Material need

*Physical flow · Direct · Uranium → Nuclear fuel transport*

Building or running Nuclear fuel transport needs uranium.
