What can you do with uranium?

Answer 1

You use it to create energy, either by:

1: Nuclear Fission: Split a nucleus of a uranium atom into lighter nuclei, which produces massive energy often in several gigawatts. Although used as a way to make nuclear bombs, it is by far considered an ineffective way to fully utilize the full potential of uranium.

2: Nuclear Fusion: A.K.A. "the power of the sun", occurs when uranium/plutonium atoms' nuclei merge to form a heavier nucleus. Compared to nuclear fission, nuclear fusion is more effective at creating more energy per atom of uranium & generates few wastes.

3: Depleted Uranium: When nuclear fission is continued, a used up hunk of uranium remains. These can be used as heavy caliber rounds for modern tanks like the British Challenger or The American M1 Abrams. Depleted Uranium rounds are able to pierce any contemporary modern armor like "a hot knife through butter"

*Uranium energy is usually classified into the gigawatts class, and one gigawatt=1 billion watts. Since one kilowatt (1000 watts)=1.34 horse power, a gigawatt is the equivalent of 134,000,000 horsepower.*
