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 or yellow colors)
- toner in Photography
- mordant for textiles
- shielding material (depleted uranium)
- ballast
- and other minor applications

Which all radioactive elements are used for nuclear reactors in India?
India primarily uses uranium and thorium as radioactive elements for its nuclear reactors. Uranium is the primary fuel for Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs), while thorium is used in some reactors as a fertile material for breeding fissile uranium-233.
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 affects does nuclear energy have on natural resources?
The natural resource of nuclear energy is uranium. Uranium is abundant everywhere on earth. However, the cost of its extraction is the limiting factor for the feasibility of any uranium resource. Among the countries with high uranium resources are Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan, Niger, Chad, and South Africa.
What material does a nuclear power station use for energy?
Most nuclear power stations use uranium enriched to 3% uranium-235 isotope. The nuclear power stations in France include some reprocessed plutonium mixed with the enriched uranium. A small number of nuclear power stations were designed with fast neutron breeder reactors and used uranium enriched to as much as 93.7% uranium-235 isotope. As more of the uranium-238 (or thorium-232) in the breeding blanket was transmuted to fissionable plutonium (or uranium) isotopes, the breeding blanket material would be reprocessed and these fissionable isotopes would be used to replace the original spent uranium. But only a small number of such nuclear power stations were built and the system for reprocessing of the breeding blanket material was not set up.
How many electrons and protons does uranium contain?

What kind of energy use uranium?
Nuclear energy sometime uses uranium for its energy source.
What are the medical uses of uranium?
Uranium is not used for medical purposes. It is primarily used in nuclear reactors for power generation and in military applications for its radioactive properties. However, uranium isotopes are sometimes used in radiation therapy for cancer treatment.
