When does Uranium-235 become unstable?
Uranium 235 is unstable because it is a radioactive isotope. This means that it is constantly decaying and emitting radiation. The reason it is unstable is because it has too many neutrons in its nucleus. The neutron is a unstable particle, and when there are too many of them in one place, they can cause problems. When uranium 235 decays, it emits alpha particles, which are high-energy particles that can damage DNA and cause cancer.
What happens in a uranium factory?
Uranium ores are transformed in uranismoctoxide, uranium metal, uranium dioxide, ammonium diuranate, uranium tetrafluoride, uranium hexafluoride etc. Another step is to prepare uranium alloys, uranium dioxide sintered pellets, enriched uranium - in other plants.
Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
Not fusion, but a fission reaction.
How do you move uranium from one place to another?
By train, on the sea or high way
Where in nature is Uranium found?
Uranium can be found is several place: USA, Canada, Germany, Niger, and many others. But there are not many more places because it rare and few can produce it.

Is Australia The Only Place That's Mines Uranium?
Nope! Canada has the highest percentage of mining Uranium (23%)
What mining product has uranium most used in it?
the most common place to find Uranium is in Granite- if I'm interpreting your question right

How is pu made?
Plutonium (Pu) is primarily produced through the irradiation of uranium-238 (U-238) in nuclear reactors. When U-238 absorbs a neutron, it transforms into uranium-239, which subsequently decays into neptunium-239 and then into plutonium-239, a fissile isotope. This process takes place in a controlled nuclear environment, where the conditions facilitate the neutron capture necessary for the transmutation to occur. Plutonium can also be extracted from spent nuclear fuel through a chemical reprocessing method.
Can you find the volume of uranium by water displacement?
yes you can you fill the water into the container and measure the amount of water then you place the uranium in the water and measure again. the difference between the two measurements is the volume of the uranium
Where was the first place uranium was found?
Uranium was discovered (as an oxide) in 1789 in Germany by Martin Heinrich Klaproth; but the mineral pitchblende was from Jachimow, now in Czech Republic and from Johanngeorgenstadt, now in Germany. The laboratory of Klaproth was in Berlin.

What place in the world has the greatest deposit of uranium?
The Olympic Dam mine in Southern Australia.
Does uranium rely on any other energy sources?
The very large nucleus of the uranium atom is a kind of energy storage unit. The energy of that nucleus is the result of the nuclear synthesis reactions that take place in a supernova. In that sense, a supernova is the energy source of uranium.
