Plans for a U.S. nuclear-power revival have excited uranium investors, stoking demand for shares in companies that produce the fuel.
The uranium enrichment impasse threatens to collapse diplomatic efforts. As Iran continues advancing its nuclear capabilities, the timeline for Tehran to potentially develop a nuclear weapon shortens.
When we dig uranium out of the ground, 99.27% of it is uranium-238, which has 92 protons and 146 neutrons. Only 0.72% of it is uranium-235 with 92 protons and 143 neutrons (the remaining 0.01% are ...

Nuclear experts believe Iran relocated more than 400 kg of highly enriched uranium—enough for 10 nuclear weapons—to a secret location. Here's what that would look like.
Chemistry New way to pull uranium from water can help China's nuclear power push. Chinese researchers have a new method to extract uranium from seawater twice as cheaply as previous technologies.
This means that 3–5% of the total uranium in the sample is now uranium-235. That’s enough to sustain a chain reaction and make electricity. What level of enrichment do nuclear weapons need?
