Uranium is fairly enough in nature on this earth but its usage is highly regulated.There are hundreds of locations in the world where uranium mining had taken place but because of the nature of the substance those places have most probably been taken over by the military establishment already.So a civilian most probably wont get a hold of it unless he is hired by that government to work with them.The latest uranium reserves are believed to be found in Afghanistan during/before soviet invasion in addition to five trillion cubic meter of gas reserves,gold reserves and much more in unexplored reserves.Whoever controls these resources could fairly provide for the 500 million people on this earth to live for 200 years of prosperity.But these could end up in wrong few powerful hands which could make the life hell for the whole humanity for much longer time.Most probably those few powerful hands would come from established governments not individual.

Where can you find nuclear energy source?
In most nuclear plants this is uranium-235
How many electrons and protons does uranium contain?
92 protonsAll the isotopes of uranium has 92 protons.
Does CANDU reactor use enriched uranium?
CANDU Reactors are specifically designed such that they do not require enriched uranium, and can operate entirely on naturally-occurring uranium. A CANDU design is generally used by parties that do not desire uranium enrichment facilities, due to the cost of those facilities. That said, a CANDU reactor CAN use enriched uranium, they are fully capable of supporting that fuel type.
What is the problem with using uranium as energy?
Uranium is toxic and radioactive; leakages of uranium from mines and plants are dangerous.
Where does all the money for nuclear come from?
Nuclear power plants are built under commercial arrangements-the power company will borrow capital from banks and repay interest from the sales of electricity. The snag might be after the end of life-who is going to pay for the decommissioning? In the UK costs are being borne by government and I guess this also applies in the US. Other costs are of course borne by the military out of taxation.

Can you find uranium in the Philippines?
Very probably uranium exist in Philippines but it is not mined today.
How do you find the net electrical charge of the uranium atom?
The uranium atom is electric neutral; uranium cations exist from 2+ to 6+.
Where can you find radon?
It comes from the breakdown of uranium.
What can you find in URANIUM?

How do you find Uranium's group number?
Uranium is a member of the actinoids group; period 7, block f.
Is uramium combustible?
Any element is combustible we will find Uranium oxide on the earth. i.e uranium is combustible
