What are the positive enriched uranium?
- the energy released from enriched uranium is higher compared to natural uranium- the amount of uranium needed for a reactor is lower- research reactors work only with enriched uranium- atomic bombs have highly enriched uranium or plutonium
Does CANDU reactor use enriched uranium?
CANDU Reactors are specifically designed such that they do not require enriched uranium, and can operate entirely on naturally-occurring uranium. A CANDU design is generally used by parties that do not desire uranium enrichment facilities, due to the cost of those facilities. That said, a CANDU reactor CAN use enriched uranium, they are fully capable of supporting that fuel type.
What element if often enriched and used in nuclear bombs?
Uranium is enriched in the isotope uranium-235, producing uranium-238 as waste.
Is plutonium and enriched uranium the same thing?
Plutonium and enriched uranium are different materials.Enriched uranium is uranium with a concentration of the isotope 235U greater than the natural concentration of 0,7 %.
Does uranium need to be enriched in order to be used in a nuclear reactor?
Some nuclear power reactors work with low enriched uranium; CANDU reactors work with natural uranium.
When uranium will blast?
Uranium will blast only when a mass of enriched uranium attain the critical mass.
How many moles are in a 140 grams of uranium?
divide 140 by the atomic weight of the uranium you want to know about. it will be different if you are asking about natural, enriched, or depleted uranium and how much its enriched or depleted.
What are the disadvantages of enriched uranium?
Disadvantages of enriched uranium:- it is very difficult to prepare- can be used for bombs- the price is prohibitive- need of a complicate and expensive technology
Name the element once enriched can form the core of a nuclear bomb?
Uranium hexafluoride (hex) is a compound of uranium that becomes a gas when heated. In gaseous form, it can be "enriched". Enriched uranium is needed for research reactors, most non-Canadian power reactors, and bombs.
What is the Uranium bomb?
A bomb containing highly enriched uranium (in the isotope 235U) as explosive.
What would a lump of enriched uranium the size of a baseball annihilate?
Uranium U -235
What is uranium - 235 when added to natural uranium?
Natural uranium has approx. 0,7 % 235U; uranium with more than 0,7 % 235U is an enriched uranium.
