Applications of uranium:
- nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors
1. Uranium is an alternative to fossil fuels, especially for countries without reserves of coal, petrol, methane.
2. Uranium don't contribute to global warming.
3. Uranium don't release carbon dioxide.
4. In the future uranium can be extracted from the sea water.
- explosive for nuclear weapons
- material for armors and projectiles
- catalyst
- additive for glass and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green or yellow colors)
- toner in Photography
- mordant for textiles
- additive for the preparation of biological samples for electron microscopy
- shielding material (depleted uranium)
- ballast (counter weights)
- and other minor applications
