What else can I help you with?
Why you need uranium?
Applications of uranium: - nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors - explosive for nuclear weapons - material for armors and projectiles - catalyst - additive for glass and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green colors) - toner in photography - mordant for textiles - shielding material (depleted uranium) - ballast - and other minor applications
How bad is uranium 233?
Uranium-233 is not bad ! It is an important nuclear fuel . And also can be used in nuclear weapons.But it is radioactive and toxic as all uranium isotopes.
What isotope uranium is radioactive?
Yes.......most likely. I can't think of anything to do with Uranium, that isn't radioactive! -------- Uranium natural isotopes are not so radioactive compared with other isotopes; but all the isotopes of uranium are radioactive.
Is uranium nuclear fuel?
Yes, U233, U235, and U238 are all used as nuclear fuels.
What is the proton of uranium?
Protons of all chemical elements are similar. All the isotopes of uranium have 92 protons.
What is the fuel used in a nuclear reactor include the one place it is mined?
Actually there are uranium mines on all the continents except Australia.
How much uranium has been mined?
Approx. 2 700 000 tonnes, up to 2011, in all the world.
Is uranium a is uranium a renewable or nonrenewable resource?
Nonrenewable. It is a metal that is mined (dug out of the earth) when it has all been dug up, it's gone. Nothing make more uranium.
Which is a nonrenewable resource for the production of nuclear energy?
Heavy isotopes like uranium; they take billions of years to form. That's longer than carbon takes to form and link into oil. If we confine "renewable" to a decade on Earth, then all dense energy forms that have to be mined (fossil fuels) are non-renewable.

How is nuclear energy distributed?
uranium is nuclear energy's source it is mined in areas like Canada, Brazil, Australia and etc that's all I know hoped it helped :)
What is the process of refining uranium to the form used in the reactor?
Its called enrichment and it can be done many different ways. Most ways of enriching uranium require the use of what is probably the most corrosive, toxic, and violently reactive with water chemicals there is: uranium hexafluoride UF6. uranium hexafluoride will corrode almost all metals except pure nickle. uranium hexafluoride attacks all organic compounds. uranium hexafluoride on contact with water ignites and can explode.Enrichment methods using uranium hexafluoride include:gaseous diffusionthermal diffusioncentrifugeLASER separationEnrichment methods not using uranium hexafluoride include: electromagnetic separation, aka calutron, aka mass spectrometerplasma separation
Is uranium a nonrenewable or renewable source?
Uranium is non-renewable. Once we've dug it all up it, there won't be any more.Another Answer:Uranium is very abundant, representing about 2 to 4 parts per million in the crust. We won't be able to dig it all up.
How bad is uranium 233?

What element is currently used in all nuclear power plants?
uranium
Can all types of uranium be used in making electricity in a reactor?
Uranium-235 and uranium-233 (obtained from thorium-232) are fissile isotopes and used as nuclear fuels. Uranium-238 is fissionable with fast neutrons but the important use is as fertile material (to obtain plutonium-239). Other uranium isotopes are without use.
