How many tons of coals would be needed to produce the same energy as one hundred twenty tons of uranium?
tenure
How much coal has to be burned to produce the same amount of energy as is generated by a kilogram of uranium fuel pellet?
About 1500 tons of coal
How many tons of uranium ore are needed to make one kilo of enriched uranium?
A Wikipedia article (see link below) gives the concentration of uranium in ore as 0.01 to 0.25 percent, which is a wide range. If we take 0.1 percent as typical, then 1 tonne (1000Kg) of ore would produce 1 Kg of uranium. This is natural uranium, which is normally enriched by about six times to produce suitable enriched uranium for fuel, so you can say that about 6 tonnes of ore would be needed to give 1 Kg of enriched uranium, but there is considerable variation of this from one source of ore to another
How many tons of water does it take to produce a ton of grain?
