Why is Uranium and oil similar?

Uranium and oil are similar in that they are both non-renewable natural resources that are used for energy production. However, they differ in terms of how they are used; uranium is primarily used in nuclear power generation, while oil is used in a variety of energy sectors such as transportation and heating. Both resources are finite and their extraction and use can have environmental impacts.


Are there different types of uranium?

Uranium is a chemical element with three natural isotopes (234, 235, 238). The natural uranium has cca. 0,72 % uranium-235; uranium with a concentration of uranium-235 under 0,72 % is called depleted uranium; uranium with a concentration of uranium -235 above 0,72 % is called enriched uranium. Uranium in nuclear power and research reactors is used as metal, aloys, uranium dioxide, uranium carbides, uranium silicides, etc.
