Uranium ia a pollutant, as a metal toxic and radioactive; no positive environmenal role.
While uranium is a common element in the Earth's crust, economically viable deposits are limited. There is a finite amount of high-quality uranium ore that can be feasibly extracted using current technology. Additionally, environmental and social factors also play a role in determining the availability of uranium resources.
