How bad is uranium 233?
Uranium-233 is not bad ! It is an important nuclear fuel . And also can be used in nuclear weapons.But it is radioactive and toxic as all uranium isotopes.
What makes uranium 233 hard to get?
Uranium 233 is an artificial isotope obtained only in a nuclear reactor from thorium 232 by the intermediate of a (n, gamma) nuclear reaction.
Which isotope of uranium is the most sought after to create nuclear bombs?
Uranium-235, found in natural Uranium at a level of 0.72%Uranium-233, produced in breeder reactors from Thorium-232
What three isotopes that can undergo nuclear fission?
There are many isotopes, especially of the trans-Uranium elements which can undergo nuclear fission. The isotopes which are used in nuclear reactors are Uranium-233, Uranium-235 and Plutonium-239, because these isotopes are more readily available than other fissionable isotopes. Uranium-235 occurs naturally, Uranium-233 can be made by neutron irradiation of Thorium-232 and Plutonium-239 can be made by neutron irradiation of Uranium-238.
Is transmutation of elements and nuclear transmutation are same?
Yes.

What makes uranium 233 hard to get?
Uranium 233 is an artificial isotope obtained only in a nuclear reactor from thorium 232 by the intermediate of a (n, gamma) nuclear reaction.
Is nuclear power same as uranium?
Uranium (as metal, dioxide, carbide, etc.) is the nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors; plutonium is obtained also from uranium 238 and thorium 232 generate uranium 233.
Why uranium is used in nuclear energy?
The isotope uranium-235 (or uranium-233) under nuclear fission emit the energy of fission. This energy is transformed in heat and electricity.
When were uranium atoms split?
Uranium atoms are split during nuclear fission. Uranium-235 and uranium-233 are fissile with thermal neutrons and uranium-238 is fissile with fast neutrons.
Where is nuclear energy source found?
1. Nuclear energy is the result of nuclear fission of fissile nuclei as uranium-235, uranium-233, plutonium-239, etc. 2. Industrial nuclear energy has as source nuclear reactors.
What is nuclear weapons in which enormous energy is release by nuclear fission?
Fission bombs. They use one or more of 3 fuels: Uranium-233, Uranium-235, or Plutonium-239.
Can nuclear weapons be manufactured from you 233?
Yes, uranium-233 produced in a reactor from thorium, has almost identical fissile properties to plutonium-239.
How does thorium change into uranium?
The nuclear reaction is:Th-232(n,gamma)U-233
Which isotope of uranium is the most sought after to create nuclear bombs?
Uranium-235, found in natural Uranium at a level of 0.72%Uranium-233, produced in breeder reactors from Thorium-232
What is an alternative material to plutonium for nuclear power?
Uranium-235, uranium-233; in the future, if it is possible, on a small scale: neptunium, americium, curium.
What three isotopes that can undergo nuclear fission?
There are many isotopes, especially of the trans-Uranium elements which can undergo nuclear fission. The isotopes which are used in nuclear reactors are Uranium-233, Uranium-235 and Plutonium-239, because these isotopes are more readily available than other fissionable isotopes.
