In its natural state, it consists of three isotopes (U-234, U-235 and U-238). Other isotopes that cannot be found in natural uranium are U-232, U-233, U-236 and U-237. The table below shows the ...

A single kilogram of uranium-235 (the most popular fissile isotope of uranium) can theoretically produce the same amount of power as 1.5 million kilograms of coal. Nuclear fission also doesn’t ...
