What does elements with a higher atomic number than uranium have?
More electrons, protons, neutrons and a greater atomic weight.
Transuranic elements are those beyond what atomic number?
92 92
Chemical elements with atomic numbers greater than that of uranium are called?
Transuranic elements
What is used for nuclear feuls?
Uranium or Plutonium For reactor fuel any Transuranic element works fine.
How many unnatural elements are there?
Every transuranic(after uranium) element is synthetic and does not occur in nature.So, there are 26 unnatural elements so far.
Why are there no one deposits of transuranic elements on earth?
why are no one deposits of transuranic elements on earth?
What are the different types of radioactive waste?
In the U.S., radioactive waste is divided into three main types, classified according to their activity, their heat generation potential, and what they physically contain. These three main levels are low level waste (LLW), transuranic waste (TRU), and high level waste (HLW). For each of these types of waste, there is a specific disposal solution -- above ground storage or shallow burial for low level waste and deep repository storage for transuranic and high level wastes. In most other countries, nuclear waste is categorized as low level waste, intermediate level waste, and high level waste. The reason for this different classification system is that in the U.S. waste is classified based on where it comes from; in most other countries, waste is classified according to what the effects of the waste might be. In both classifications, low level waste represents about 90% of all radioactive waste
How many general categories are there for radioactive waste?
In general terms there are three levels of waste defined, though in practice these are sub-divided as necessary depending on thr nature of the waste.There is also transuranic waste mainly produced from weapons programmes. See the article linked below
Is Fermium a trans-uranium element?
Yes, fermium is a transuranic chemical element.
What are the different levels of nuclear waste?
There are three main categories of nuclear waste:High Level Waste, including waste fuel and similar materialsIntermediate Level Waste, such as materials from reactor decommissioning, sludge, and so on, that require shielding. This category is not in use in the United States. In the United States there is an intermediate level termed Transuranic Waste, which consists of materials that contain transuranic elements due to contamination, and so need shielding.Low Level Waste, including materials contaminated with radioactive materials with short half lives, such as clothing, paper, filters, tools, and so on, that can be stored for a relatively short time and requires little, if any, shielding aside from short term burial
What are transuranics?
transuranic elements are all elements with atomic numbers greater than 92, uranium is 92 so transuranic is past uranium
What are transuranic elements?
The transuranic elements are those with an atomic number greater than 92, the atomic number of uranium. Only neptunium (Atomic number 93) occurs naturally on earth, the rest plutonium americium etc are made artificially. See the wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transuranic_elements
Is the Curium a heavier element?
Curium is one of the transuranic elements.
What are elements with more than 92 protons called?
Transuranic.
What does elements with a higher atomic number than uranium have?
More electrons, protons, neutrons and a greater atomic weight.
What eleven word has four u's in it?
ununquadium - a radioactive transuranic element
Where was neptunium obtained from?
Neptunium is a transuranic element, meaning that it has so many protons that it does not occur in nature. Most commonly Neptunium is a byproduct of nuclear reactions and attempts to create Plutonium (another transuranic element).
