Most uranium is U-238, with has a very long halflife. Bombard it with neutrons (fast breeder reactor) to make plutonium-239, which is a suitable fuel for a fission reactor. Lift it up high, and tie a rope to it. As it falls, have it drive a generator. Same scenario, only drop it into a black hole... get lots more energy.

What are ways you use energy?
there are many ways in which we can use energy this includes: :)
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.
Most nuclear power plants use what atoms to make nuclear energy?
Most nuclear power plants use uranium atoms to make nuclear energy through a process called nuclear fission. Uranium-235 is the most commonly used isotope for nuclear reactors because it is fissile, meaning it can sustain a chain reaction.
Are uranium pellets used in fuel rods that provide the energy for nuclear reactors?
Yes, uranium pellets are indeed used in fuel rods in nuclear reactors. These pellets undergo a process called nuclear fission, where they release energy in the form of heat that is used to generate electricity.
Why do you use uranium and plutonium in the reactor?
Uranium and plutonium are used in reactors because they are fissile materials that can undergo nuclear fission, releasing a large amount of energy. This energy is harnessed to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.
What kind of energy use uranium?
Nuclear energy sometime uses uranium for its energy source.
What kind of energy do we use for uranium in use in the fusion power plant?
Uranium has stored energy (potential energy), more specifically, nuclear energy.
Ways you turn uranium into energy you can use?
One common way to use uranium to generate energy is through nuclear fission, where the nucleus of the uranium atom is split in a controlled manner, releasing a large amount of heat energy. This heat is used to produce steam that drives turbines connected to generators, producing electricity. Another method is through nuclear fusion, which involves combining uranium isotopes to release energy in a controlled reaction, similar to what powers the sun.
What are two ways to use energy?
geothermal energy is used directly for heating and to turn turbines to geberate electrictity.
How would you help maximize the the use of energy in our society?
by conserving it, we must not waste the energy , turn off the lights when not in use, and many more ways.
Do nuclear power plants use uranium to produce energy?
Yes, uranium is the most important nuclear fuel now.
A natural resource that people use to make energy?
Uranium
Uranium was use in the development of the?
Nuclear energy Nuclear weapons
What are the ways in conserving fuels?
how can we save fuel ? easy you can easily dont turn on the air condition
How we turn uranium into energy?
Use it to boil water, the rising steam turns a turbine that creates electricity thanks to electromagnetic induction ( creating electricity using magnets and coils of wire
What is the pro about uranium?
The principal advantage and use is nuclear energy, an energy with no global warming effects.
Who use uranium?
The government and industry use uranium. Uranium is very important for its use as a nuclear fuel. Energy companies purchase it from the government or licensed suppliers. It also has military applications such as in kinetic energy munitions (as the bullet) and in uranium armours. (Its use for nuclear weapons has been displaced by plutonium, but plutonium is made in nuclear reactors from uranium.) Uranium and uranium compounds have also another applications in industry such as a coloring agent for glasses and ceramics, mordant for textiles, in Photography, bricks for protection against gamma radiation, ballast, catalysts, etc.
