How do depleted uranium shells work?
The important characteristic of uranium for this scope is its great density - 19,1 g/cm3. Also some steels alloyed with uranium are harder.
Are the uses of uranium environmentally safe?
Uranium is toxic and radioactive; but problems are reduced if the protection rules are respected.Be very careful when you work with uranium, in laboratories with few grams, in industry with hundred tons.
Why does uranium ore have to be enriched before its used in a nuclear power plant?
1. Uranium must be refined to obtain "nuclear grade" uranium. 2. The enrichment in the isotope 235U depends on the type of the nuclear reactor; some reactors (as CANDU) work with natural uranium.
What is work function?
work function is nothing bt it is a big headec..............
What are 2 molecules that contain uranium?
Examples:Oxides: uranium dioxide, uranium trioxide, uranium octaoxideSalts: ammonium diuranate, uranyl nitrate, uranyl acetate, uranium hehxafluoride, uranium chlorideand many others because uranium is a reactive metal.
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.
Can uranium cause death?
Uranium is both radioactive and a toxic metal to humans. Exposure to uranium can disrupt normal function of most systems in the body. Uranium itself has not been shown to be a direct cause in any human deaths, but exposure to its ions has.
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
What kind of nuclear work does North Korea work on?
Uranium enrichment.

What happens when plutonium fuses with uranium to make a bomb?
Nothing special. Atomic bombs can be built with either uranium, plutonium, or composite (plutonium/uranium) cores. All work the same.
How much uranium can the flux capacitor hold?
The flux capacitor is now only a phantasy. Flux capacitor will not work with Uranium. It has to be Plutonium.
In what production is a reactor and uranium used in?
A nuclear reactor is a plant which deliver electricity and (or) heat.The function principle is the release of energy from nuclear fission of fissile materials as the isotope uranium-235.

What was the function of graphite in the first atomic reaction?
moderator, it slowed fast neutrons to thermal velocities so that they would be less likely to be captured by uranium-238 before they could fission uranium-235.
