Using a little bit of uranium produces a lot of electricity without greenhouse effects and release of carbon dioxide. Also economy of very expensive and non-renewable fossil fuels.

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 colors)

- toner in Photography

- mordant for textiles

- shielding material (depleted uranium)

- ballast

- and other minor applications
