Uranium is not so plentiful; one day the reserves will be exhausted.

Applications of uranium:

- nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors

- explosive for nuclear weapons

- material for armors and projectiles

- catalyst

- additive for glasses and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green colors)

- toner in Photography

- mordant for textiles

- shielding material (depleted uranium)

- ballast

- and other minor applications

Why would people want to live in Uranium City?

Most likely it was the availability of mining jobs.


Uranium bearing rocks are in unlimited supply?

While uranium is a common element in the Earth's crust, economically viable deposits are limited. There is a finite amount of high-quality uranium ore that can be feasibly extracted using current technology. Additionally, environmental and social factors also play a role in determining the availability of uranium resources.


Uranium will last longer than fossil fuels?

Yes, uranium is a finite resource but is estimated to last longer than fossil fuels, as it is more energy-dense and efficient in power generation. Additionally, advancements in nuclear technology, such as breeder reactors, can help extend the availability of uranium as a fuel source.


How readily available is atomic fuel?

Atomic fuel, such as uranium and plutonium, is readily available but its extraction, processing, and enrichment involve complex processes. There are known reserves of uranium that can support nuclear energy for several decades, but the availability of atomic fuel is subject to factors like geopolitics, nuclear proliferation concerns, and environmental considerations. Recycling and new technologies are being developed to extend the availability of atomic fuel.

Are there different types of uranium?

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.


What is cold uranium?
