Nuclear Power Engineering
Nuclear fuel generally used in reactors is uranium oxide instead of uranium, because the former has higher

All of these
Melting point, hence can be subjected to higher temperature
Density ; hence core volume for a given power output would be smaller
Resistance to effects of irradiation
