What makes uranium explode?

Answer 1

It is produced by the refinement of pitchblende ore and is subsequently enriched through various methods to yield highly enriched uranium, which can be used in nuclear weapons or nuclear reactors. you can also go to uranus and find some their

Answer 2

Uranium itself does not "explode" in the traditional sense. However, in a nuclear fission reaction, uranium-235 nuclei can be split to release an enormous amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. This energy can lead to a chain reaction, causing a nuclear explosion if not properly controlled.

Answer 3

Applications of uranium:

- nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors

- explosive for nuclear weapons

- material for armors and projectiles

- catalyst

- additive for glass and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green colors)

- toner in Photography

- mordant for textiles

- shielding material (depleted uranium)

- ballast

- and other minor applications

Answer 4

You can blow uranium up with any conventional explosive. It's quite simple. But you can't just "blow up uranium" to make a nuclear blast. If your question is related to using uranium to make a nuclear weapon, there is a different question for that. A link to it can be found below.

Answer 5

To obtain uranium, one must find an ore deposit, mine it, and then refine it.

Answer 6

no one has probably answered it because this is kind of a terroristic question. Ignite uranium you need what all other explosions need....

Answer 7

Uranium is extracted from the Earth crust by mining.

Answer 8

sudden super-criticality causing a prompt-critical chain reaction. total time for reaction is a couple microseconds and a high yield explosion results.

Answer 9

Uranium explode when a critical mass exist.

Answer 10

- geochemical analysis of rocks, soils and waters

- radiometric study of the territory

- bio-geochemical analysis
