Applications of uranium:
- nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors
- explosive for nuclear weapons
- material for armors and projectiles
- catalyst
- additive for glasses and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green colors)
- toner in Photography
- mordant for textiles
- shielding material (depleted uranium)
- ballast
- and other minor applications
Disadvantages: uranium is toxic and radioactive.
Uranium is not used in medicine.
To produce uranium
Uranium is not used in the petroleum industry.
No. Uranium is generally used in solid form.
- Enriched uranium is used as explosive in some nuclear weapons. Depleted uranium is used for: - armors - projectiles - ballast
Uranium is not a fossil fuel; uranium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
uranium
No, uranium is not used in medicine.
Spent uranium is used for armor piercing rounds. Enriched uranium is used in the production of plutonium that is used in the cores of nuclear weapons.
Pure Uranium is radioactive; thus harmful. Inside a nuclear reactor, atoms get split. When the Uranium atom is split, it releases a huge amount of energy. This energy is called nuclear energy. Also the normal Uranium is not used in reactors. The Uranium that is used is enhanced; it is an isotope of Uranium. Uranium-237 and Uranium-238 are used in nuclear reactors. I hope this answer was useful for you.
Uranium is not used for the radiations emitted.
The applications of uranium are independent on climate.
