Tanzania is set to begin uranium mining in Namtumbo District following the near-completion of a pilot smelting facility, the Ministry of Minerals announced, Daily News reported. The $1.2bn project led ...

The presence of uranium deposits estimated at 139 million tonnes, gives the mine a projected lifespan of 22 years, ...

Uranium discovered in Chimney Hollow Dam, the largest built in United States in 20 years 03:41. Just weeks before completion of construction, Northern Water has confirmed uranium has been ...

Global uranium production is now heavily concentrated. Kazakhstan, Canada and Australia accounted for around two-thirds of global output in 2022, according to the World Nuclear Association.

Centrifuges exploit the fact that uranium-238 is about 1% heavier than uranium-235. They take uranium (in gas form) and use rotors to spin it at 50,000 to 70,000 rotations per minute, with the ...

Uranium-235 is an isotope of uranium, which is a version of an element that has the same basic identity but weighs a little more or less. Think about apples from the same tree.

Uranium found in materials used to build Chimney Hollow Reservoir dam The reservoir, located near Berthoud, is expected to eventually serve half a million people, and possibly more. To stream ...

For example, the New York Times reported that, from 2009 through 2013, Uranium One's chairman made four donations totaling $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation.

Iran's enriched uranium is central to Israeli and U.S. justifications for their attacks. According to the IAEA, Iran has enriched more than 400 kilograms − about 880 pounds − of uranium to ...

Because uranium-235 is a little lighter than uranium-238, it moves outward more slowly when spun, and the two isotopes separate. It’s sort of like how a salad spinner separates water from lettuce.

This means that 3–5% of the total uranium in the sample is now uranium-235. That’s enough to sustain a chain reaction and make electricity. What level of enrichment do nuclear weapons need?
