What are two ways isotopes can be written?
Examples for an uranium isotope:22892U, U-238, uranium-238.
What element uses breeder reactor uranium or plutonium?
Uranium and plutonium are both actinides that are used in nuclear reactors.
In how many ways can the energy of uranium be used?
Only in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
Are there different types of uranium?
Uranium is a chemical element with three natural isotopes (234, 235, 238). The natural uranium has cca. 0,72 % uranium-235; uranium with a concentration of uranium-235 under 0,72 % is called depleted uranium; uranium with a concentration of uranium -235 above 0,72 % is called enriched uranium. Uranium in nuclear power and research reactors is used as metal, aloys, uranium dioxide, uranium carbides, uranium silicides, etc.
