Uranium is extracted by mining as minerals; these minerals are transformed in pure uranium compounds during a long physical/chemical chain of processes: grinding, dissolving, filtration, ion exchange, precipitation, solvent extraction, calcination, reduction, etc.
No. Uranium can be found naturally.
Yes, uranium can be produced on a large scale.Now the world production of uranium is approx. 55 000 t/year.
Uranium is recovered by mining and chemical processing.
When uranium radiates alpha particles, it transforms into thorium. Thorium is a radioactive element that is produced as a result of the decay of uranium through alpha emission.

Uranium-235, found in natural Uranium at a level of 0.72%Uranium-233, produced in breeder reactors from Thorium-232
Uranium and radium, and a number of others, are natural elements found in the ground, and they are radioactive.
The energy density of Uranium is 2,715,385 greater than an equal amount of coal
Nuclear energy (ie that produced on earth from uranium)
Radioactive wastes (low radioactivity)
Isotopes of radon (Rn)
This gas is radon.
