A single kilogram of uranium-235 (the most popular fissile isotope of uranium) can theoretically produce the same amount of power as 1.5 million kilograms of coal. Nuclear fission also doesn’t ...

HALEU, which has isotope uranium-235 between 5% and 20% of the mass of uranium is essential for advanced nuclear reactors such as small modular reactors (SMRs) and microreactors. The U.S ...

Heisenberg noted that they could use pure uranium 235, a rare isotope, as an explosive. In the summer of 1940, Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker, a younger colleague and friend of Heisenberg's ...

It either must be enriched—made more concentrated in a rare form of uranium (U-235)—or converted into plutonium (Pu-239). Heavy water can play a role in breeding weapons-grade plutonium from ...

The enriched uranium correction, containing about 16–17% uranium-235, ensures that REMIX fuel matches the energy potential of fresh uranium fuel. That capability allows for the repeated ...

A Mandaue City official has expressed concern over the health risks posed by 60 kilograms of block metals containing depleted uranium seized by the National Bur ...
