The surface of Mars contains abundant evidence of a wetter climate in the past along with ice frozen in the ground today; therefore it is quite possible that hydrothermal systems could be set up from impact heat. NASA's Mars Odyssey actually measured the distribution of ice from orbit with a gamma ray spectrometer. [41]
Uranium has been hot this year, industry experts say. The trouble is there may not be enough to go around. The squeeze on the metal, found in rocks and seawater, intensified recently after 22 ...
Despite all sorts of good news for nuclear energy stocks in general in 2024, the year was not a great one for uranium miners like Uranium Energy in particular. In the face of a stock market that ...
Shares in Uranium Energy (NYSEMKT: UEC) rose by a whopping 17.8% in the week up to Friday morning. The move comes in a positive week of newsflow for the nuclear industry, which is good news for a ...
The uranium bubble of 2007 was a period of nearly exponential growth in the price of natural uranium, starting in 2005 [2] and peaking at roughly $300/kg (or ~$135/lb) in mid-2007. [ citation needed ] This coincided with significant rises of stock price of uranium mining and exploration companies. [ 3 ]
Reactor-grade plutonium (RGPu) [1] [2] is the isotopic grade of plutonium that is found in spent nuclear fuel after the uranium-235 primary fuel that a nuclear power reactor uses has burnt up. The uranium-238 from which most of the plutonium isotopes derive by neutron capture is found along with the U-235 in the low enriched uranium fuel of ...
It's easy to lose track of nuclear news out of Oak Ridge. Here's why the Sept. 4 announcement was so different.
The fissile isotope uranium-235 fuels most nuclear reactors.When 235 U absorbs a thermal neutron, one of two processes can occur.About 85.5% of the time, it will fission; about 14.5% of the time, it will not fission, instead emitting gamma radiation and yielding 236 U. [1] [2] Thus, the yield of 236 U per 235 U+n reaction is about 14.5%, and the yield of fission products is about 85.5%.
