1. For the non-irradiated uranium the effect is unnoticed.
2. If you think to nuclear fission of uranium, this is another question.

Is radioactive uranium positively charged?
The alpha radiation emitted from uranium isotopes is an ionizing radiation.
What kind of rays does uranium 235 and plutonium 239 release?
Plutonium 239 emit: alpha, gamma, spontaneous fission neutrons Uranium 235 emit: alpha, gamma, spontaneous fission neutrons
What substance does uranium and plutonium release?
The elements emit especially alpha particles.
What is the specific heat of solid uranium?
The molar heat of uranium is 27.665 J/mol.K.
What is the appreciable radioactivity of uranium is mainly due to m?
Uranium natural isotopes emit alpha particles, gamma radiations, beta radiations and spontaneous fission neutrons.
What type pf heat does uranium emit?
Uranium don't emit directly heat; under nuclear fission the kinetic energy released and the energy of radiations is converted to heat and after to electricity.
Why uranium is used in nuclear energy?
The isotope uranium-235 (or uranium-233) under nuclear fission emit the energy of fission. This energy is transformed in heat and electricity.
Why is uranium considered radioactive?
Uranium is considered a radioactive chemical element because uranium (all the isotopes) is unstable and emit nuclear radiations.
Is radioactive uranium positively charged?
The alpha radiation emitted from uranium isotopes is an ionizing radiation.
Who discover the radioisotopes?
Becquerel in 1896 discovered that uranium emit radiations.
What kind of rays does uranium 235 and plutonium 239 release?
Plutonium 239 emit: alpha, gamma, spontaneous fission neutrons Uranium 235 emit: alpha, gamma, spontaneous fission neutrons
What did becquerel realize when working with uranium?
Becquerel observed accidentally that uranium emit radiations that strongly impress a photographic plate.
How does uranium turn the turbine in a power station?
Radioactivity produces a certain amount of heat, and uranium has the interesting property that you can increase its rate of radioactive decay by creating a certain density of specific isotopes (decaying uranium atoms emit neutrons which can be absorbed by other uranium atoms making them unstable, so that they too will decay). Therefore, uranium can be used as a source of heat - much like burning coal - and that heat can be used to boil water and run a steam turbine.
What substance does uranium and plutonium release?
The elements emit especially alpha particles.
What is the specific heat of solid uranium?
The molar heat of uranium is 27.665 J/mol.K.
How much radiation does uranium give off?
Yes, uranium gives off dangerous amounts of radiation.
Why Silicon and germanium emit light?
they emit heat when their is a recombination of electron and holes
