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
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
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
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 These are among the main findings of the latest edition of Uranium – Resources
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
Cooperation for Safe Management of Uranium Mining The IAEA has signed an agreement with German state-owned company Wismut GmbH to strengthen cooperation in the safe management and remediation of uranium mining sites around the world “This agreement aims to strengthen joint efforts between the IAEA and Wismut to safely manage the rehabilitation of former uranium mining sites, ensuring that environmental remediation practices evolve with the
Les ressources en uranium sont suffisantes, mais des investissements . . . Les ressources en uranium sont suffisantes pour permettre à la fois l’utilisation ininterrompue de l’énergie d’origine nucléaire et une expansion importante du secteur jusqu’en 2050 et au-delà Il sera néanmoins primordial d’investir en temps voulu dans de nouvelles techniques de
Uranium_Fuel_Cycle - International Atomic Energy Agency A Introduction Uranium, the heaviest naturally occurring element in the periodic table, is an energy resource and basic raw material for nuclear fuel The amount of free energy contained in nuclear fuel is millions of times the amount of energy contained in fossil fuels such as coal, oil or gas, making nuclear fission a promising source of primary heat energy Natural uranium is mildly
