Uranium

Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive element that is used primarily as fuel in nuclear reactors. It is a dense, heavy metal that is highly reactive and has a high atomic number, making it ideal for use in nuclear energy production. Uranium is mined from ores and is then processed to create fuel rods for use in nuclear reactors. In addition to its use in nuclear energy, uranium has also been used in the production of weapons and has applications in the medical and industrial fields. The demand for uranium has increased in recent years due to the growing use of nuclear energy, particularly in developing countries. However, the extraction and use of uranium has also raised concerns about environmental damage and the potential for nuclear weapons proliferation.
