1. Uranium is a possible polluting agent of the natural environment.
2. Uranium is a toxic and a radioactive chemical element.
3. Uranium release radium and radon.
4. Radioactive wastes are dangerous and need to be isolated.
Plutonium: the same characteristics, but it is more toxic and radioactive.
Hydrogen: it is a cause of severe explosions.
What else can I help you with?
What are nuclear bombs made from?
Uranium, plutonium or hydrogen.
What does uranium and plutonium do inside a bomb?
The critical mass of plutonium is lower, plutonium is not so expensive as highly enriched uranium, the technology to obtain plutonium is more simple than the isotopic separa-tion of uranium, etc.
What is a uranium bomb?
A uranium bomb is an atomic bomb fueled by uranium-235A plutonium bomb is an atomic bomb fueled by plutonium-239A composite bomb is an atomic bomb fueled by both uranium-235 and plutonium-239A wet bomb is a hydrogen bomb fueled by liquefied deuterium/tritiumA dry bomb is a hydrogen bomb fueled by solid lithium deuteride
Can uranium and plutonium bond?
Uranium and plutonium can form alloys.
Can plutonium combine with uranium?
Plutonium and uranium can form alloys.
Is plutonium more powerful then uranium?
Plutonium is more dangerous: the specific activity is greater, the critical mass is smaller, the chemical toxicity is greater.
Which material type is more dangerous plutonium 239 or uranium 235?
Plutonium-239 is generally considered more dangerous than uranium-235 because it is highly toxic and poses a greater risk of radiation exposure. Plutonium-239 is a significant nuclear proliferation concern due to its use in nuclear weapons.
Can you recycle uranium and plutonium?
Yes, it is possible to recycle "burned" uranium and plutonium.
What is smaller in radius uranium or plutonium?
The atomic radii of uranium and plutonium are identical.
Is plutonium limited?
Plutonium is obtained from uranium irradiated in nuclear reactors, consequently the production of plutonium depends on uranium resources.
A nucleon has the least mass in the nucleus of uranium iron plutonium hydrogen?
The masses of the nucleons are independent from the type of nucleus.
What are the two most common isotopes used as nuclear fuels?
in reactors: yellowcake, a uranium oxide; after that probably metallic uraniumin stars: ordinary hydrogen; after that helium
