Approx. 70 US $ for 1 kg of nuclear reactor grade uranium doxide (with natural uranium); the enriched uranium is more expensive, depending on enrichment.
Uranium dioxide, nuclear grade, not enriched has a value greater 100 US $/kg.
The percentage of uranium in uranium dioxide is 88,149.
Uranium dioxide
Uranium dioxide sintered pellets are now the most important nuclear fuel around the world.
Some examples of uranium compounds are: uranyl nitrate, uranium dioxide, uranium hexafluoride, uranium tetrachloride, triuraniumoctaoxide, uranyl acetate, uranium iodide, uranium nitride, uranium, sulfide, uranium carbide, uranyl sulfate, etc.
Depending very much on the chemical or physical form, purity, enrichment, etc.For nuclear grade powder of natural uranium dioxide: ca. 100 $/kg.
The uranium dioxide - UO2 - is a very important nuclear fuel.
Often uranium dioxide is used as fuel in nuclear power plants either as UOX (uranium dioxide) or MOX (mixed oxides, typically uranium and plutonium). There are a number of other fuel types, however, and not all plants use uranium dioxide. The other fuel types include metal alloys, ceramics, and various chemical compounds other than oxides.
- Uranium don't contribute to global warming- Uranium don't release carbon dioxide
no
Examples:Oxides: uranium dioxide, uranium trioxide, uranium octaoxideSalts: ammonium diuranate, uranyl nitrate, uranyl acetate, uranium hehxafluoride, uranium chlorideand many others because uranium is a reactive metal.
Depending very much on the chemical or physical form, purity, enrichment, etc. For nuclear grade powder of natural uranium dioxide: ca. 100 $/kg.
