According to the World Health Organization, normal civil or military use of depleted uranium is unlikely to lead to serious health problems. However, depleted uranium remains nonetheless a weakly radioactive, and chemically toxic metal.[3][4][5] The Fallujah Study conduct ed in Iraq between ...
The tariffs proposed by President Donald Trump will likely lead to higher prices – and inflation – for consumers. Tim SmartFeb. 27, 2025 What Is a Tariff and Who Pays It? From a spending freeze memo that sparked confusion to federal layoffs among critical programs, he...
The half-life of uranium-238 is4.5 billion years. It decays into radium-226, which in turn decays into radon-222. Radon-222 becomes polonium-210, which finally decays into a stable nuclide, lead. Marie Curie, who worked with uranium to discover several even more radioactive elements (poloni...
The fact remains, however, that even such a staunch proponent of the energy transition as the International Energy Agency has acknowledged the lead role that nuclear power is set to play in the decarbonization of the world’s energy systems. And this means that those uranium miners in Canada—...

Indeed, increased biological productivity could have also prompted the extinction event—since ocean eutrophication can lead to an increase in marine oxygen consumption and to an expansion of the anoxic ‘dead zones’ that, in turn, stress or even terminate marine animal ecosystems (Bowman et al.,...
Natural Uranium found in the Earth's crust contains the isotopes A=235 and A=238 in the atom ratio of 7.3*10^-3 to 1. Assuming that the time of formation of the Earth these two isotopes were formed equally, and that the mean lives are 1.03*10^9 years and 6.49*10^9 years respectiv...
The lead core does not constitute 100% of the actual total bullet mass (its typically no more than ~66%), because it is surrounded by a copper bullet jacket. Next, the bullet is put into a brass cartridge case filled with powder, so its typically only ~33% of the total cartridge ...
