For NBL 0,99975 % uranium: 1 230 US $ for 4 grams.
Most nuclear power plants use enriched uranium as a nuclear fuel. Uranium-235 is the most commonly used isotope for nuclear fission reactions in nuclear power plants, where the uranium atoms split, releasing energy.
Uranium is an element, it does not 'use' any products.
Natural uranium, which is primarily composed of uranium-238, is used as fuel in CANDU (Canada Deuterium Uranium) reactors. These reactors utilize heavy water as a moderator and coolant, allowing them to use natural uranium without enrichment.
Uranium contributes to the economy of the US primarily through its use in nuclear power generation, which provides a significant portion of the country's electricity. This creates jobs in the nuclear energy sector, contributes to energy security, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, uranium mining and processing operations also support local economies in regions where these activities take place.

Probably 10 %.
The uranium oxide U3O8 contain 84,8 % uranium.
approx. 70 tonnes.
United States buy from other countries an important percentage of the necessary uranium.
Uranium-235 is the isotope that makes up only 0.7% of natural uranium and is the fissile part. It is the isotope responsible for sustaining a nuclear chain reaction in reactors and weapons.
Depleted uranium is approx. 60% less radioactive than an equivalent mass of natural uranium.
The main fuel source for nuclear power plants is uranium, specifically uranium-235. The uranium fuel is enriched to increase the concentration of uranium-235, which undergoes fission reactions in the reactor core to generate heat. In some cases, plutonium can also be used as a fuel source in nuclear reactors.
Percent per mass example: uranium concentration in granite is approh. 4 mg/kg. Percent per volume: uranium concentration in ocean water is approx. 4 micrograms/L.
Uranium is a chemical element, not a compound.
