This is a handful of these uranium oxide fuel pellets.

Nuclear right now means water cooled reactor, uranium oxide solid fuel, poor fuel efficiency and steam turbine.

Ethylene oxide

The reactors we have today use uranium oxide as a fuel. It's a ceramic material, chemically stable, but not very good at transferring heat.

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

We couldn't turn off the nitric oxide.

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

But even China's realized, We can't built reactors based around water cooling and uranium oxide fuel, it's not going last that long. China's doing LFTR, even as we speak.

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.

These rockets use experimental motors like nitrous oxide.

I can get you crystal meth, nitrous oxide.

And then we get to uranium.

Some, like aluminum oxide, tends to sequester the moisture.

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

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.

This is uranium oxide and when you put it in a reactor for a while, one of the things xenon does, it's a gas, so it's way, way, way less dense than solid fuel.

It became uranium 233. Isn't that cool?

We make this solid uranium oxide fuel and there's a single pellet, and then we put them in these big reactor fuel elements, zirconium tubes that are like 12 feet long and about this big around.

Large uranium reserves for nuclear fission still exist.

Nitrous oxide stopped being used as an anaesthetic a long time ago.

Nitrous oxide stopped being used as an anaesthetic a long time ago.

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

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.

And they were the first people to describe this new chemical transmitter, nitric oxide.

The primary ingredients in geoengineering are specifically the oxides of metals, including aluminum oxide.

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

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

What nitric oxide does is it dilates blood vessels, so it lowers your blood pressure.

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.

And I started doing research, and we found, very excitingly, that the skin produces nitric oxide.

It seemed we couldn't turn off the production of nitric oxide in the skin of humans.

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.
