Uranium

Uranium is a chemical element with the symbol U and atomic number 92. It is a silvery-grey metal in the actinide series of the periodic table. A uranium atom has 92 protons and 92 electrons, of which 6 are valence electrons. Uranium is weakly radioactive because all isotopes of uranium are unstable; the half-lives of its naturally occurring isotopes range between 159,200 years and 4.5 billion years. The most common isotopes in natural uranium are uranium-238 (which has 146 neutrons and accounts for over 99% of uranium on Earth) and uranium-235 (which has 143 neutrons). Uranium has the highest atomic …

In 2022, the EU imported 97% of its uranium demand, with Russia providing its longstanding dependency on Russian-enriched uranium has notably increased, with imports rising from Russia for the recycling of its spent nuclear fuel (uranium) (European Commission 2023u). It is also worth substantial portion of the French unenriched uranium comes from Niger, which experienced a coup d’état
