- What is Uranium? | IAEA
Uranium is a vital component for the production of nuclear fuel, which is used in nuclear power reactors all over the world (Image: A Vargas IAEA) Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive element, which has the atomic number of 92 and corresponds to the chemical symbol U in the periodic table
- Qu’est-ce que l’uranium ? | AIEA
L’uranium est un élément radioactif naturel avec le symbole chimique U et le numéro atomique 92, appartenant aux actinides
- Uranium production for nuclear reactors | IAEA
Uranium is the primary fuel for nuclear reactors and must be managed properly, in a safe and sustainable manner Recent annual production of natural uranium world-wide has been between 55,000 and 65,000 tons of uranium metal, similar to the fuel demand Additionally, thorium is also being investigated as a potential alternate source of nuclear fuel
- Production d’uranium pour les réacteurs nucléaires | AIEA
L’uranium est le principal combustible utilisé dans les réacteurs nucléaires Il doit être géré correctement, de façon sûre et durable Ces derniers temps, la production annuelle mondiale d’uranium naturel était comprise entre 55 000 et 65 000 tonnes d’uranium métal, soit l’équivalent de la demande en combustible nucléaire Le thorium, qui pourrait constituer une source
- Uranium Exploration Planning, Management and Practice
The objective of this Technical Document is to provide clear guidance including best practices and recommendations for the planning, management and implementation of uranium exploration projects It provides a systematic approach to the development and implementation of uranium exploration programmes
- What is Nuclear Energy? The Science of Nuclear Power | IAEA
What is nuclear fission? Nuclear fission is a reaction where the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei, while releasing energy For instance, when hit by a neutron, the nucleus of an atom of uranium-235 splits into two smaller nuclei, for example a barium nucleus and a krypton nucleus and two or three neutrons
- Update on Developments in Iran | IAEA
The Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant site was targeted in attacks on 13 June that destroyed the above-ground part of the Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant, one of the facilities at which Iran was producing uranium enriched up to 60% U-235
- World’s Uranium Resources Enough for the Foreseeable Future, Say NEA . . .
Sufficient uranium resources exist to support the long-term, sustainable use of nuclear energy for low-carbon electricity generation as well as for other uses such as industrial heat applications and hydrogen production However, the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and recent
