The escaping neutrons also cause the Uranium in the bomb casing to undergo a fission chain reaction, the energy from which is added to the total output of the bomb. It also results in much radioactive material being expelled into the atmosphere, which can later descend as ‘fallout’, and ...
Uranium's decay process also gives rise to byproducts calleddaughter elementssuch as radium and radon, which are both radioactive as well. Surveyors measure radiation carefully to make sure they're not mistaking other elements for uranium. Once a company knows it wants to give uranium mining a ...

In Oak Ridge, Tennessee, a whopping 50,000 people worked to create the material, enriched uranium, needed for Los Alamos' bomb, while thousands more created another fissile material, plutonium, in Hanford, Washington. Including the hundreds of thousands of construction workers who built these labs...
America helped make a monster. What to do with him-and what happens after he's gone-has haunted us for a quarter century. 美国帮助制造了一个怪物。该怎么处理他——以及他离开后会发生什么——已经困扰了我们四分之一个世纪。 The last time Donald Rumsfeld saw Saddam Hussein, he gave him a co...
and Iran resumed stockpiling low-enriched uranium.It is nowpoised to breach the 300kg cap set by the agreement. Iran may hesitate before crossing that line, but it is also threatening to increase the enrichment level of its uranium, bringing it closer to the stuff that goes into a bomb. ...
According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, a nuclear bomb needsabout 33 pounds (15 kilograms)of enriched uranium to be operational. The bulkiness of other bomb materials also make it harder to apply the technology to existing long-range missile systems. ...
s mission to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, produced precisely the opposite result. Iran has only accelerated the enrichment of uranium and has become a de facto nuclear threshold state with the ability to produce enough purified uranium for one bomb in a few months and a nuclear...
When a uranium sample was inserted into a Stuxnet-infected centrifuge for refinement, the virus would command the machine to spin faster than it was designed for, then suddenly stop. The results were thousands of machines that wore out years ahead of schedule, and more importantly, ruined sample...
