- after a severe intoxication (ingestion of an important mass of soluble uranium compounds); uranium is toxic and radioactive.

- after inhalation of uranium dust on long periods; uranium and the released radon are the cause of lung cancers in this case.

- after the explosion of a critical mass of enriched uranium

- if you are between the victims of a nuclear weapons bombarment, using uranium in the bombs

Uranium is a chemical element with three natural isotopes (234, 235, 238). The natural uranium has cca. 0,72 % uranium-235; uranium with a concentration of uranium-235 under 0,72 % is called depleted uranium; uranium with a concentration of uranium -235 above 0,72 % is called enriched uranium. Uranium in nuclear power and research reactors is used as metal, aloys, uranium dioxide, uranium carbides, uranium silicides, etc.
