What bombs is uranium used in?

Is uranium used in atomic bombs?
Yes, uranium is used in atomic bombs as a key component for fission reactions. Both uranium-235 and uranium-238 isotopes can be used in the production of nuclear weapons, with uranium-235 being the preferred isotope due to its higher reactivity.

How is uranium used as a fossil fuel?
Uranium is not a fossil fuel; uranium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
Can nuclear energy keep being used?
