Uranium-235 react with thermal neutrons in a nuclear reaction called fission. The enormous energy released by the nuclear fission can be transformed in electricity and heat in nuclear reactors.
Nuclear energy sometime uses uranium for its energy source.
Uranium has stored energy (potential energy), more specifically, nuclear energy.
The government and industry use uranium. Uranium is very important for its use as a nuclear fuel. Energy companies purchase it from the government or licensed suppliers. It also has military applications such as in kinetic energy munitions (as the bullet) and in uranium armours. (Its use for nuclear weapons has been displaced by plutonium, but plutonium is made in nuclear reactors from uranium.) Uranium and uranium compounds have also another applications in industry such as a coloring agent for glasses and ceramics, mordant for textiles, in Photography, bricks for protection against gamma radiation, ballast, catalysts, etc.
Yes, uranium is the most important nuclear fuel now.

The principal advantage and use is nuclear energy, an energy with no global warming effects.
Uranium is an element.

The scientist use somthing called uranium that helps creat steam and the steam makes the turbines spin.
Uranium is the fuel for nuclear energy. In most reactors it is used in the form of uranium dioxide, UO2, which is made into small cylinders 10mm diameter, and loaded into tubes made of zircaloy which are then sealed. A number of these tubes are then made up into a fuel assembly which is loaded and unloaded as a unit in and out of the reactor.
Uranium is a radioactive element. It is in the f block. We use it for make energy.
