Uranium is an element, like copper or iron. It's much heavier than iron, though: it has 92 protons and 92 electrons, and a LOT of neutrons. It's a metal, but it's rare compared to other metals. It looks like lead, and is soft like lead, too. However, it's much heavier (70% more) than lead.
Uranium is useful in nuclear reactions because forms of it (isotopes) decay easily, meaning that it sheds neutrons. Uranium is quite unstable compared to other elements.
Uranium was used in the first atomic bombs because it is radioactive (sheds neutrons), and its nucleus is therefore easy to shatter. This is probably what uranium is best known for.
It's also used in nuclear power plants for the same reason.
