For electricity production about 16 percent world wide. This does not include oil and gas used for other purposes, it only refers to electricity generation. Uranium cannot be used to produce significant power for any other purpose.

What is Uranium energy used for?

Uranium energy is primarily used as fuel in nuclear power plants to generate electricity. It undergoes nuclear fission, in which the uranium nucleus splits into smaller parts, releasing a large amount of energy. Uranium can also be used in nuclear weapons due to its ability to undergo fission reactions.


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.
