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

∙ 13y agorecycle it for more fuel. Use the non radioactive bit in bullets or if its radioactive, find a secure storage facility to prevent it from being used by terrorist groups in dirty bombs
There is NO "non radioactive" uranium, all isotopes are radioactive.

∙ 15y agoAt present we use the U-235 and discard the U-238, apart from what is turned into Pu during reactor operation. The U-238 could be used to breed more Pu in fast breeder reactors, and this will probably become necessary as supplies of U-235 become depleted, but this won't be for many years yet.

∙ 14y agoDepleted uranium poses both a radioactive hazard, and also a hazard as a toxic heavy metal. Because it is fairly chemically reactive, it might be combined with a halogen (usually fluorine) to form a stable salt. It could then be sealed in drums and stored in a secure facility. It should also be noted that depleted uranium can be put through an operating nuclear reactor to make plutonium. This is, in fact, the source of the plutonium used to manufacture nuclear fuels and as the "pit" or energy source in most nuclear weapons.

Can you get depleted with uranium?
Depleted uranium applications are: - material for armors and projectiles - catalyst - additive for glass and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green or yellow colors) - toner in photography - mordant for textiles - additive for the preparation of biological samples for electron microscopy - shielding material (depleted uranium) - ballast (counter weights) - and other minor applications
What gene is depleted uranium on?
Any gene; depleted uranium is uranium containing more than 99,8 % of the isotope uranium 238.
Is depleted uranium man made?
Depleted uranium is man made but the isotope 238U is natural.
When was Depleted Uranium Is a War Crime created?
Depleted Uranium Is a War Crime was created in 2006.
Minimum safe distance from depleted uranium hazard?
The external irradiation from depleted uranium is not significative.
Is depleted uranium 40 percent more radioactive than natural uranium?
Depleted uranium is approx. 60% less radioactive than an equivalent mass of natural uranium.
How many Iraqi children have died as a result of the United States using depleted uranium?
You'll have to make your question more clear. Are you talking about depleted uranium munitions? Or are you claiming the US are using depleted uranium for something else?
Does a chemical mask protect against depleted uranium?
Against uranium powders or liquid aerosols you need a mask with filter for powders. Bulk depleted uranium is practically not dangerous.
Depleted uranium is chemically thee same as natural uranium but?
Has had most of the uranium-235 (an isotope of uranium)) separated out of it.
The depleted uranium load in a patient is measured by the uranium level in what?
The (depleted) uranium load in a patient is discovered by measuring the uranium concentration in urine or blood.For uranium in blood, feces, etc. see at : http://www.ccnr.org/du_hague.html, the chapter Medical testing for depleted uranium contamination.Frequently used analytical chemistry methods: fluorimetry or phosphorimetry in liquid phase.
Safe distance in meters from depleted uranium?
The external irradiation from depleted uranium is not important; no very special precautions or a mandatory safe distance.
How many moles are in a 140 grams of uranium?
divide 140 by the atomic weight of the uranium you want to know about. it will be different if you are asking about natural, enriched, or depleted uranium and how much its enriched or depleted.
The depleted uranium load in a patient is measured by the uranium level in?
Blood or urine.
