What are 3 reasons uranium is bad?
Uranium is toxic, radioactive, can be used for weapons.
Why did so many scientist study uranium?
Because uranium is an important source of energy. Also uranium is the explosive in many nuclear weapons.
Why is uranium bad?
Elements are neither good nor bad. It is the uses to which they may be put that decide this.
How does URANIUM contribute to the ecomomy of the US?
Uranium is the major component of the nuclear fuel in the nuclear energetic reactors. Also United States use uranium for weapons.
What country uses the least amount of uranium?
Many countries without uranium mines, nuclear reactors, nuclear weapons.
What is uranium for?
Nuclear weapons.
What nucealer bombs are made of?
Basically, nuclear weapons are made from uranium or plutonium material and hydrogen as a chain reaction nucleus.
What are the cons of uranium?
Uranium is toxic, radioactive, can be used for nuclear weapons.
What fuels are used for nuclear weapons?
Uranium mainlyPlutonium and Uranium in fission weapons, Lithium deuteride in fusion weapons, occasionally small amounts of Tritium gas to boost fission weapons with fusion.
What are 3 reasons uranium is bad?

How has uranium changed the world?
The principal changes are: - fabrication of nuclear weapons - creation of nuclear power reactors - use of depleted uranium in weapons
What is the difference between plutonium weapon and uranium weapons?
The obvious difference is a plutonium weapon uses plutonium as its fuel while a uranium weapon uses uranium as its fuel, however there are also composite weapons that use both as their fuel. Plutonium, being produced in reactors has some degree of plutonium-240 and plutonium-241 as undesired contaminates that can cause a fizzle. So weapons made with plutonium must be assembled much more rapidly than uranium weapons. So uranium weapons can use either gun or implosion rapid assembly systems, but weapons using any amount of plutonium must use implosion rapid assembly systems.
What do you find uranium's?
Because uranium is very important for nuclear energy and nuclear weapons.
What kind of weapons do they make with uranium?
BOMBS!
What nuclear weapons are made with plutonium?
All modern nuclear weapons use plutonium. There may be a uranium component in some modern weapons as well, usually in the secondary or added on in rings to adjust the yield of the weapon.
