What kind of material is nuclear fuel?
According to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, nuclear fuel is from three different kinds of fuel. The special one consists of uranium-233, uranium-235, enriched uranium, or plutonium. The Source is from natural uranium or thorium. It can also come from depleted uranium not suitable as a reactor fuel. The byproduct can come from radioactive material. They also contain waste and tailings made by extracting or concentrating the uranium or thorium from an ore processed mainly for its content of source material.
Does uranium rely on any other energy sources?
The very large nucleus of the uranium atom is a kind of energy storage unit. The energy of that nucleus is the result of the nuclear synthesis reactions that take place in a supernova. In that sense, a supernova is the energy source of uranium.
What kind of plant is uranium?
Uranium is not a plant but a natural chemical element.
What does uranium make?
Uranium is a chemical element in the periodic table of Mendeleev. This means that it consists of its very own kind of atoms that are different from all other kinds of atoms. For example the isotope uranium 238 has 92 protons, 92 electrons and 146 neutrons.
What kind of medical doctor helps people with illnesses?
Every kind of medical doctor helps people with illnesses; that is the purpose of medicine.
Uranium 235 and Uranium 238 are said to be what kind of radioactivity?
Uranium 235 and uranium 238 are especially alpha particles emitters. They are natural radioactive isotopes.
What is the heaviest kind of atom?
The largest. Uranium and the trans-uranium atoms are the most massive.
What kind of mineral is uranium found in?
The most common minerals of uranium are uraninite and carnotite.
Is uranium used in missiles?
Yes. That is an ionized uranium atom. It is very similar to U-235, which is used in nuclear reactors.Yes, it is used but the rest of the above answer is entirely wrong.U-238 is not ionized! It is just the isotope that makes up 99.274% of natural uranium and typically 99.7% or more of depleted uranium. It will not support a fission chain reaction but can be made to fission by very high energy neutrons such as those produced in hydrogen fusion.Both U-235 and U-238 are present in any reactor or uranium fueled bomb. Typical reactor fuel is 3% U-235 and 97% U-238, while oralloy (the usual uranium bomb fuel) is 93.5% U-235 and 6.5% U-238.Both uranium and plutonium fueled fission bombs use a uranium tamper around their core. This is either depleted (≥99.7% U-238) or natural (99.274% U-238) uranium.Fusion bombs use a fission bomb primary stage to trigger fusion in their fusion secondary stage.Fusion bombs often use a uranium tamper around the fusion stage(s). This is either depleted (≥99.7% U-238) or natural (99.274% U-238) uranium. In some designs the fission of this U-238 can provide as much as 90% of the total yield of the bomb (and a corresponding amount of its fallout).So U-238 is present in some amount in every nuclear reactor and every kind of nuclear weapon.
What kind of energy use uranium?
Nuclear energy sometime uses uranium for its energy source.
What kind of gases are in popcorn?
helium and uranium.
What kind of weapons do they make with uranium?
BOMBS!
