Why you need uranium?
Applications of uranium: - nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors - explosive for nuclear weapons - material for armors and projectiles - catalyst - additive for glass and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green colors) - toner in photography - mordant for textiles - shielding material (depleted uranium) - ballast - and other minor applications
Does Canada have nuclear weapons?
Plutonium is always produced by using uranium fuel in a nuclear reactor, but it stays in the spent fuel unless this is processed. I don't think Canada has any processing capability for separating out the plutonium, but you need to ask the question to the Canadian authority
Does uranium need to be enriched in order to be used in a nuclear reactor?
Some nuclear power reactors work with low enriched uranium; CANDU reactors work with natural uranium.
Benefits of uranium mining in Saskatchewan?
Applications of uranium: - nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors - explosive for nuclear weapons - material for armors and projectiles - catalyst - additive for glass and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green or yellow colors) - toner in photography - mordant for textiles - shielding material (depleted uranium) - ballast - and other minor applications Also a mine or plant need workers and the unemployement will be lower.
How much uranium is need to power a nuclear power plant for eighteen months?
Depending on: - the type of the nuclear reactor - the electrical power of the nuclear reactor - the type of the nuclear fuel - the enrichment of uranium - the estimated burnup of the nuclear fuel etc.
Why not use uranium in cars?
We don't need to use uranium in cars. Why would we? Uranium as a nuclear fuel requires a big machine to extract its power. We call that machine a thermonuclear reactor. They don't come in a version that will permit us to build one into a car. We can build a nuclear weapon into a suitcase, but that's not the same thing. Uranium is extremely dense. We don't need to make any parts or subassemblies out of this stuff for automotive applications. It's way too heavy and doesn't give us anything we can't get from other, lighter materials.
Which type of nuclear reaction is used in modern-day nuclear reactors?
Nuclear fission is used in nuclear weapons to create what some might call an atomic blast (nuclear blast). Nuclear fission used this way can also be applied in special complex designs to generate enough thermal energy (heat) to initiate a fusion reaction. This creates an even bigger nuclear blast.
Why don't Jamaica have nuclear weapons?
Nuclear weapons are very expensive. Jamaica does not have nearly the kind of economy that permits the building or purchase of such expensive weapons. And nobody is going to invade Jamaica anyway. Jamaica does not need nuclear weapons.
What does the UK think about the nuclear weapons?
i need this answer PLEASE.
What makes uranium explode?
It is produced by the refinement of pitchblende ore and is subsequently enriched through various methods to yield highly enriched uranium, which can be used in nuclear weapons or nuclear reactors. you can also go to uranus and find some their
Why don't the pellets with uranium oxide start to react during the enrichment process?
1. The material for enrichment is the uranium hexafluoride (UF6) not uranium dioxide pellets. 2. For a nuclear fission and and a nuclear chain reaction we need thermal neutrons.
Can a nuclear option to ensure the defenses of Nigeria be thinkable and with what reasons?
nigeria has no need for nuclear weapons
