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.

How einsteinium do you make it?
By bombarding uranium with neutrons.
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.
What element is a reactor fuel?
Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239, or Uranium-233. Also many transuranics, like Americium make good fuel.
Is uranium in a compound?
Some examples of uranium compounds are: uranyl nitrate, uranium dioxide, uranium hexafluoride, uranium tetrachloride, triuraniumoctaoxide, uranyl acetate, uranium iodide, uranium nitride, uranium, sulfide, uranium carbide, uranyl sulfate, etc.
What is a uranium pellet?
You are orobably thinking of the small cylinders which make up the fuel rods. These are 10mm diameter and about 10mm long, and are packed end to end inside the zircaloy sheath to make a fuel rod. The material is uranium dioxide with the uranium enriched to about 5% U-235.
How do you make a stick of uranium?
- By melting of metallic uranium. - By sticking sintered uranium dioxide pellets
What is one less interesting fact about uranium?
Uranium is not used to make knives !
How does uranium make the power clean?
- Uranium don't contribute to global warming- Uranium don't release carbon dioxide

Uranium as a pure metallic element was obtained after the alchemic period; alchemists don't know uranium.
Does uranium make your hair fall out faster?
Any link between uranium and hair loss.
What make Uranium fission?
Uranium (especialy the fissile isotope) 235U is fissionable by bombardments with thermal neutrons.
