Well, its being used for nuclear power - however nuclear power has a problem with the nuclear wastes but this question is practically solved now.
Applications of uranium:
- nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors
- explosive for nuclear weapons
- material for armors and projectiles
- catalyst
- additive for glass and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green or yellow colors)
- toner in Photography
- mordant for textiles
- shielding material (depleted uranium)
- ballast
- and other minor applications
- the nuclear energy from uranium is an alternative for fossil fuels- uranium doesn't release carbon dioxide- uranium hasn't a contribution to the warming of the climate- uranium has many applications- uranium is useful for nuclear weapons, armors and projectiles
Coal, Oil, Gas, and Soil. uranium is is one too
Uranium hasn't a biological role.
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.
Uranium is an important resource in the Canadian province Saskatchewan. Uranium is also exported.
Some uranium salts and glasses
A good chemistry teacher know all about uranium !
I have been doing some research and according to Wikipedia Uranium is damaging to the kidneys causing Kidney failure and Uranium is also a toxic metal which makes it not good to breath uranium. Is uranium in drinking water safe? I think definitely not because it is a toxic metal and it is not good for the body and causes kidney problems. so "NO" ---------- All the drinking waters have uranium in small concentration, some micrograms to liter. Drinking waters suppliers or other national authorities mention the maximum permitted level of uranium or general radioactivity in water.
Yes, if it is possible and you have money to buy uranium for the future.
some good things about mercantilism was that they had to get together to find out some things about people. They didn'tknow what to do about those good things but they did know what to do about the bad things. And you will know more about the bad things whenever you ask the question.
Disadvantages of uranium: 1. Uranium is a possible polluting agent of the natural environment. 2. Uranium is a toxic and radioactive chemical element. 3. Uranium release radium and radon.
Uranium-238 has only one disadvantage: it is not a fissile material with thermal neutrons.But it is a fertile material good for some types of reactors or can be used in reactors with fast neutrons.
