Natural uranium - Wikipedia
Natural uranium (NU or U nat [1]) is uranium with the same isotopic ratio as found in nature. It contains 0.711% uranium-235, 99.284% uranium-238, and a trace of uranium-234 by weight (0.0055%). Approximately 2.2% of its radioactivity comes from uranium-235, 48.6% from uranium-238, and 49.2% from uranium-234.

2023年2月15日 · Natural uranium. Uranium containing the relative concentrations of isotopes found in nature: 0.7 percent uranium-235, 99.3 percent uranium-238, and a trace amount of uranium-234 by mass. In terms of radioactivity, however, natural uranium contains about 2.2 percent uranium-235, 48.6 percent uranium-238, and 49.2 percent uranium-234.
What is Uranium? | IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency
2023年8月16日 · There are three natural isotopes of uranium — uranium-234 (U-234), uranium-235 (U-235) and uranium-238 (U-238). U-238 is the most common one, accounting for around 99 per cent of natural uranium found on earth.
Natural Uranium | nuclear-power.com
Natural uranium is commonly found at low levels (a few ppm – parts per million) in all rocks, soil, water, plants, and animals (including humans). Uranium also occurs in seawater and can be recovered from ocean water.
Nuclear Fuel Facts: Uranium | Department of Energy
2015年3月1日 · Uranium has the highest atomic weight of all naturally occurring elements. Uranium occurs naturally in low concentrations in soil, rock and water, and is commercially extracted from uranium-bearing minerals such as uraninite. Uranium ore can be mined from open pits or underground excavations.
Uranium - Wikipedia
Natural uranium consists of three major isotopes: uranium-238 (99.28% natural abundance), uranium-235 (0.71%), and uranium-234 (0.0054%).
Uranium | Definition, Properties, Uses, & Facts | Britannica
2024年11月20日 · It is now known that uranium, radioactive in all its isotopes, consists naturally of a mixture of uranium-238 (99.27 percent, 4,510,000,000-year half-life), uranium-235 (0.72 percent, 713,000,000-year half-life), and uranium-234 (0.006 percent, 247,000-year half-life).
Uranium - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic Table
Naturally occurring uranium consists of 99% uranium-238 and 1% uranium-235. Uranium-235 is the only naturally occurring fissionable fuel (a fuel that can sustain a chain reaction). Uranium fuel used in nuclear reactors is enriched with uranium-235.
Natural uranium: formation, risks and main mines - Nuclear energy
2020年1月21日 · Natural uranium is a radioactive chemical element that poses certain risks to human health and the environment if not handled properly. One of the main dangers of natural uranium is its emission of ionizing radiation.
Isotopes of uranium - Wikipedia
Natural uranium consists of three main isotopes, 238 U (99.2739–99.2752% natural abundance), 235 U (0.7198–0.7202%), and 234 U (0.0050–0.0059%). [5] All three isotopes are radioactive (i.e., they are radioisotopes ), and the most abundant and stable is uranium-238, with a half-life of 4.4683 × 10 9 years (about the age of the Earth ).
