Why is the ordnance survey called the ordnance survey?

The name dates back to World War II. Much of the mapping carried out during the war was done by the Department of Ordnance (the guys who take care of munitions, artillery, tanks etc.). Their maps then, were known as Ordnance Survey maps. Today, Ordnance Survey maps are carried out by civilian teams and have nothing to do with ordnance but the name has stuck.


Does the government use uranium?

Yes, the government uses uranium. Uranium is mined, refined and then enriched to provide nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors. Depleted uranium, the uranium "left over" from enrichment, is used in munitions to defeat armor, and in some types of armor. On a related note, enriched uranium is in demand by some sovern states and religeous/political factions to make nuclear weapons, though the "modern" nuclear powers use plutonium as the fissionable element in their nuclear devices. The plutonium is made by "soaking" uranium in the neutron flux of an operating nuclear reactor for a time. This changes (transmutes) some of the uranium to plutonium, which is then recovered and processed.
