Ore flight Bravo. Delta, Wilco.

Ore flight Nebula, Delta initiated.

Iron ore occurs there in abundance.

Until you find some tylium ore.

Yellowcake uranium, Mark.

Madam President, tylium ore is extremely rare.

It's less than one percent of uranium, it's about 0.7 percent uranium.

Without harming the tylium ore under the surface.

Hardly at all. That's why it is still around. Uranium, two isotopes uranium 235, uranium 238 both of course are radioactive.

Uranium hexafluoride is a gas.

Uranium tetrafluoride is in solution.

He is not protecting himself from the uranium, he's protecting the uranium from himself.

Treat the men well and the ore will come.

But the radiation would render the ore inert, unusable.

And then we get to uranium.

They took natural uranium, and they separated those two isotopes, highly enriched it in uranium 235.

I don't now if they are black block ore not...

It's going to stay in solution. But the uranium will come out as uranium hexafluoride, a gas.

And uranium 233 is being consumed but the neutrons from the fission are making new uranium 233.

It became uranium 233. Isn't that cool?

These lovely ladies are uranium fuel rods.

Mountain ranges, plate tectonics, moves the continents around, forms ore deposits.

They hit some iron ore here. Slowed them down a little.

Large uranium reserves for nuclear fission still exist.

Uranium is used in the production of nuclear power.

Here's the decay chain that uranium 232 is on.

like uranium, plutonium, and everything else when they decay.

So, uranium, which is very big, wants to split.

You wouldn't happen to have any uranium on you?

Whether it's the abode of a spirit or a pile of ore is irrelevant.

You're fissioning uranium 233, but you're making a new one.

This is a handful of these uranium oxide fuel pellets.

You hit the salt with fluorine gas, and what'll happen is... There's uranium tetrafluoride, four fluoride ions, and there's uranium hexafluoride, six fluoride ions.

Australia, for example, is heavily dependent on exporting iron ore and natural gas to China.

Guinea has got a huge new exploitation of iron ore coming out of the ground.

Now What about thorium and uranium? Both are naturally occurring materials.

The uranium and plutonium took on a gas form to escape.

Uranium 233, if you hit it with a neutron it will fission.

And with current reactor technology we really don't have very much uranium.

And you have the uranium mining that you have to deal with.

So they started looking at it, and it turns out, no, it's a really bad idea, because as you made the uranium 233, you were always making uranium 232.

Because I think it'll fission. I think it'll fission just like uranium 235.

Their major asset for developing nuclear weapons is the Natanz uranium enrichment facility.

It doesn't have anything to do, in specifics, with centrifuges, with uranium enrichment.

The radioactivities are mixture of Uranium and Plutonium used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
