The Oak Ridge facility was the location of the big enrichment program put together by the U.S. in World War 2. It is now the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and it is located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Need links? You got 'em.
Uranium exit in the environment, around us, in rocks and soils, in rivers and oceans, in vegetation, in building materials etc. and also in our bodies. Uranium is spread everywhere and is not so a rare element.
Uranium is a solid, not a liquid. So it is sold by weight, not by volume. As of 25 July 2011 Uranium costs US $ 51.50per US pound or US $113 per kilogram of natural uranium in the form of the unrefined uranium oxide (U3O8).
For natural uranium as the oxide U3O8 the price is now approx. 90 US $/kg.For uranium metal, enriched uranium, uranium dioxide nuclear grade etc. prices are significantly higher.
Uranium is extracted from ores, from mines. But be sure that uranium (of course in very low concentrations) exist around us in ocean waters and drinking water, in granite and coal, in soils and phosphates, also in your body etc.
