What metals are found in Ukraine?
The Ukraine has huge deposits of coal and iron ore. Therefore, the main minerals in Ukraine are carbon and haematite.
How is uranium mined in Australia?
Australia has important uranium mines as Ranger, Beverley and Olympic Dam. Also Australia has huge reserves of uranium.
Huge deposits of uranium were recently found in?
Huge reserves of uranium have been located in Shivpuri near Allahabad. It is found in the remains of a meteorite that must have crashed into Earth 2500 millions of years ago. Credit for the discovery goes to geologist Dr. Jayanta K Pani of the Planetary Science Department of the Allahabad University. It was an accidental discovery because Dr. Pati was studying rocks from Bundelkhand when he noticed something different in the samples. Detailed study revealed the extraordinary find. The asteroid identified as the Dhala Impact Structure is about one kilometer in diameter and covers an area of nearly 64 square kilometers. It is rich in coffinite, a uranium bearing mineral and the find would mean a giant leap for Indian atomic research because it would reduce dependence on foreign agencies for supply of the basic material. The reserve is estimated to be capable of giving 3000 tonnes of uranium - which is quite a lot of the precious commodity.
How does uranium turn nuclear?
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.

Why is uranium so special?
The nuclear fission of uranium-235 release a huge amount of energy.This energy can be used in nuclear reactors to produce electricity/heat or in nuclear weapons.
What type of mining is it when miners dig huge pits and remove ore deposits?
strip mining
How does uranium work and produce electricity?
The fission of uranium atomic nucleus (especially the isotope uranium-235 which is fissile with low energy neutrons) release a huge energy: 202,5 MeV/fission or 1,68.10ex.8 kJ/mol. The nuclear fission is the source of this energy.
When uranium atoms split what is it called?
When uranium atoms split, it is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
