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

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
All of these
