Uranium is radioactive, and contamination of water, air or the human system can be fatal or permanently mutate a person or living animal's body, therefore, it is advised not to use uranium and instead use some safer resource.

∙ 15y agoUranium is a radioactive element. Any contact with uranium with water, air, human being, ecetera, will either kill the victim or permanently mutate it. Therefore, it is strongly advised that we use some other safer resource than uranium, looking back at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, uranium has killed and disfigured and mutated a lot of people. If you type "uranium" in Google images, you'll be able to see horribly disfigured people. Don't use uranium, its not safe. /////// Natural uranium is not so dangerous; yes, uranium is radioactive (but the gamma radiation has an energy of about 180 keV - not important) and toxic. No mutations and killing at contact or other exagerations. Uranium don't kill any person at Nagasaki and Hiroshima; resposibles was the radiations from another radioactive isotopes, the flux of neutrons, the high temperature, the power of the shock wave, fires, etc.
