Yes, uranium can have negative impacts on the environment. Mining and processing uranium can lead to water and soil contamination, while uranium waste poses a long-term radiation hazard. Accidental releases of radioactive material can also harm ecosystems and wildlife.
Companies obtain uranium primarily through mining it from deposits in the Earth's crust. This involves locating uranium-rich ore, extracting it from the ground, and processing it to produce a concentrated form of uranium suitable for various applications, such as nuclear power generation. Additionally, some uranium may also be acquired through recycling used nuclear fuel or purchasing it from other suppliers.
Uranium has 92 electrons, which means it has 7 electron shells.
The atomic number of uranium is 92. The number of neutrons of the isotope uranium-235 is 143.
