- What is Uranium? | 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 It belongs to a special group of elements called “actinides” — elements that were discovered relatively late in history
- 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
- What is Nuclear Energy? The Science of Nuclear Power
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
- 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
- Sufficient Uranium Resources Exist, However Investments Needed to . . .
Sufficient uranium resources exist to support both the continued use of nuclear power and its significant growth through 2050 and beyond However, timely investments in new exploration, mining operations and processing techniques will be essential to ensure that uranium becomes available to the market when needed
- 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
- Depleted Uranium - International Atomic Energy Agency
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) defines uranium as a Low Specific Activity material In its natural state, it consists of three isotopes (U-234, U-235 and U-238) Other isotopes that cannot be found in natural uranium are U-232, U-233, U-236 and U-237 The table below shows the fraction by weight of the three isotopes in any quantity of natural uranium, their half lives, and
- IAEA Director General Grossi’s Statement to UNSC on Situation in Iran
As stated in my most recent report to the Agency’s Board of Governors and based on inspections conducted at the relevant facilities since then, Iran’s uranium stockpiles remain under safeguards in accordance with Iran’s comprehensive safeguards agreement
