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

- 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

∙ 14y agoYou can blow uranium up with any conventional explosive. It's quite simple. But you can't just "blow up uranium" to make a nuclear blast. If your question is related to using uranium to make a nuclear weapon, there is a different question for that. A link to it can be found below.

How are the nuclear power plant materials separated?
After mining and crushing the (uranium) ore, i think the uranium is dissolved with acid and spun in centrifuges to separate the heavy (more fissible) uranium-235 atoms from the lighter (less fissible) uranium-233 atoms. Highly radioactive material makes for faster chain reactions and more power, and is very dangerous.
Is uranium more dense than lead?
Uranium is more dense than lead, yes. The density of the two metals is 19.1 and 11.34 grams per cubic centimeter, respectively. That makes uranium almost twice as dense as lead.
How many electrons and protons does uranium contain?
92 protonsAll the isotopes of uranium has 92 protons.
Does CANDU reactor use enriched uranium?
CANDU Reactors are specifically designed such that they do not require enriched uranium, and can operate entirely on naturally-occurring uranium. A CANDU design is generally used by parties that do not desire uranium enrichment facilities, due to the cost of those facilities. That said, a CANDU reactor CAN use enriched uranium, they are fully capable of supporting that fuel type.
What is a nuclear power plants original energy form?
Assuming "FROM". Supernova stars. As stars age, they run out of hydrogen for fusion. Large stars can fuse heavier and heavier elements... such as uranium. When they run out of stuff to fuse, they can collapese and explode. The stars blew up, spreading the uranium around the universe... and when new solar systems form, that uranium is part of their make up and available via mining to create nuclear energy.
How much uranium will there be in the future?
Less and less as the Uranium decays into lead and other elements.... More and more as super-novae explode and fuse elements into Uranium...
Why does uranium metal not explode in a nuclear reaction?
Uranium metal (enriched in uranium-235 up to 99 %) is a nuclear explosive, if the critical mass is reached. Also criticality accidents are possible in uranium plants or uranium storage areas.
What makes food explode?
Foods don't explode !
What makes a C battery explode?
They will not explode. They can however burst.
Why can't uranium ore explode in the ground?
No critical mass underground; but as a curiosity read about the Oklo phenomenon.
How many protons are in one isotope of uranium 238 have?
all isotopes of uranium have 92 protons, that is what makes them uranium.
What makes the star explode?
iron
What makes keroscene explode?
explosives......
Why do carrots explode in the microwave?
The same with beans, they start to expand in too much heat and eventually explode.
What metal makes nuclear power?
Uranium
What makes a chemical reaction with plutonium?
Uranium
What element makes fluorine more powerful?
hydrogen. it makes it explode:)
