What would it be like without uranium?
There would be no nuclear power plants.
Where to powermine in RuneScape?
The bestest place to power-mine would be at the falador mines.
What material does a nuclear power station use for energy?
Most nuclear power stations use uranium enriched to 3% uranium-235 isotope. The nuclear power stations in France include some reprocessed plutonium mixed with the enriched uranium. A small number of nuclear power stations were designed with fast neutron breeder reactors and used uranium enriched to as much as 93.7% uranium-235 isotope. As more of the uranium-238 (or thorium-232) in the breeding blanket was transmuted to fissionable plutonium (or uranium) isotopes, the breeding blanket material would be reprocessed and these fissionable isotopes would be used to replace the original spent uranium. But only a small number of such nuclear power stations were built and the system for reprocessing of the breeding blanket material was not set up.
What fuel is used in nuclear power plants?
A nuclear reactor is a device to initiate, control, and sustain a nuclear chain reaction. Nuclear power is energy produced from controlled nuclear reactions. When it comes to just standard fuel across the table it would have to be: Plutonium, Uranium, and Thorium.
What responsibility do you have to prevent the mining of uranium?
An open question exists as to why an individual would want to prevent uranium mining. Until a better, cleaner way to generate electric power comes along, we are stuck running what we have (including nuclear power plants). Our focus needs to be developing and moving to those cleaner power generation technologies. Uranium is a necessary nuclear fuel, and our efforts should be aimed at safety of nuclear facilities and at environmental issues surrounding uranium mining (and all mining, for that matter).
Why would you use liquid uranium?
Now liquid uranium has not applications.
Would Carbon-14 or Uranium-235 be better to date a fossil from the Precambrian time?
uranium-235 dates older objects so uranium-235 would be your answer
Which country in latin America has the most productive emerald mines?
Colombia is known to have the most productive emerald mines in Latin America, particularly in the Boyacá region. Colombian emeralds are highly valued for their quality and color.
What would a lump of enriched uranium the size of a baseball annihilate?
Uranium U -235
Is India a good producer of uranium?
This is taken from Wikipedia, about India and nuclear power Uranium used for the weapons program has been separate from the power program, using Uranium from indigenous reserves. This domestic reserve of 80,000 to 112,000 tons of uranium (approx 1% of global uranium reserves) is large enough to supply all of India's commercial and military reactors as well as supply all the needs of India's nuclear weapons arsenal. Currently, India's nuclear power reactors consume, at most, 478 metric tonnes of uranium per year. Even if India were to quadruple its nuclear power output (and reactor base) to 20GWe by 2020, nuclear power generation would only consume 2000 metric tonnes of uranium per annum. Based on India's known commercially viable reserves of 80,000 to 112,000 tons of uranium, this represents a 40 to 50 years uranium supply for India's nuclear power reactors (note with reprocessing and breeder reactor technology, this supply could be stretched out many times over). Furthermore, the uranium requirements of India's Nuclear Arsenal are only a fifteenth (1/15) of that required for power generation (approx. 32 tonnes), meaning that India's domestic fissile material supply is more than enough to meet all needs for it strategic nuclear arsenal. Therefore, India has sufficient uranium resources to meet its strategic and power requirements for the foreseeable future.
Is uranium illegal?
No, but it has to be monitored as it is a very dangerous component. We use it in power plants across the world, but it would be illegal to use to make unauthorized weapons.
What would the mitochondria be if you were to compare it to the government?
Coal mines or nuclear power plants I would say. Some sort of energy system, that takes in fuel and spits out energy in abundance.
