Which minerals have radon in them?
[Radon_is_found_in_all_kinds_of_rocks_everywhere]Radon exist in rocks containing uranium or thorium.
Does radon have uranium in it?
Uranium and thorium minerals contain radon.
What is the alternative of uranium?
Alternatives for uranium may be plutonium and thorium.
Is thorium better than uranium?
Yes, we can get more electricity from thorium, if you are asking about the supply. When 232Th is used in a nuclear reactor, it is bred to become 233U. This isotope of uranium has about as much energy available as 235U, so the amount of energy per fission event is about the same for thorium as it is for uranium. Aside from that, however, there are important differences. Thorium does not need to be enriched, so all of it can be used. The amount of thorium we have is a multiple of the amount of uranium. The combination means that, where we only have a few decades supply of uranium, we have enough thorium to last thousands of years.
Radon is found in all kinds of rocks everywhere.?
Radon exist in rocks containing uranium or thorium.
What does uranium and thorium help?
pie
Why mass of uranium destroys when it breaks into platinum and then into thorium?
- After alpha disintegration the isotope uranium-238 is transformed in the isotope thorium-234. - After alpha disintegration the isotope uranium-235 is transformed in the isotope thorium-230. Platinum is a misspelling ?
