It says that the minimum amount of pure uranium(U-235) needed to cause a chain reaction is about 50 kg. It is called the Super Critical Mass. But because pure uranium is rare or dificult to make, usually the scientists will need more then 50 kg.
Yes, we can get more electricity from thorium, if you are asking about the supply. When 232Th is used in a nuclear reactor, it is bred to become 233U. This isotope of uranium has about as much energy available as 235U, so the amount of energy per fission event is about the same for thorium as it is for uranium. Aside from that, however, there are important differences. Thorium does not need to be enriched, so all of it can be used. The amount of thorium we have is a multiple of the amount of uranium. The combination means that, where we only have a few decades supply of uranium, we have enough thorium to last thousands of years.
The energy produced from burning one ounce of uranium is equivalent to burning approximately 3 tons of coal. This is because uranium has a much higher energy density and efficiency in power generation compared to coal. This means that a small amount of uranium can produce the same amount of energy as a much larger amount of coal.
the uranium is the thing which helps to make atomic energy on uranium atoms the neutrons are bombarded and its cycle is continued bcoz on bombarding one neutron on uranium it takes place with 3 neutrons and some heat
according to my calculation. our body can produced 1000 volts higher but if ur a child ur body can produce 2000 volts only
Its really hard to say, the only nuclear bomb that might contain that much uranium (probably as depleted uranium) would be a hydrogen fusion bomb with a uranium tamper.Depending on many design features, it would probably weigh a bit under 2 tons and have a yield somewhere between 2 megatons and 20 megatons, most of that produced by fission of the uranium tamper.NO nuclear bomb could ever contain that much weapons grade uranium, as it would be so far beyond critical that it would simply melt in the factory as it was being assembled and kill anyone nearby with neutron and gamma radiation.
None. No electricity is produced from candles.
1 kg of uranium-235 is equivalent to 24.10ex.6 kWh.
42 pints of electricity
A typical nuclear power plant requires approximately 27 metric tons of uranium fuel per year to produce electricity. This amount can vary depending on the specific reactor design and fuel cycle used. The energy produced from uranium in a nuclear reactor is much more concentrated than energy from other traditional sources like coal or natural gas.
that depends on how much sunlight there is. But alot of electricity.
I have read in a magazine that 1 gram of uranium can light America up to whole a day. So 1 X 1000grams Mean 1 kg of uranium can Light Up America for upto 1000 days... Huhhh....!! regards , http://rizeworkshop.blogspot.com/
1.7% of Pakistan electricity is produced by nuclear power stations
The nuclear energy is not so developed in the poor countries.
i really don't know
it's over 9,000
The amount of diesel needed to produce 1 MW of electricity can vary depending on the efficiency of the diesel generator. On average, it can range from about 0.25 to 0.3 gallons of diesel per hour per MW of electricity produced.
