Fissionable material

Usage examples of uranium.

The precipitate of ammonic-magnesic phosphate is filtered off, dissolved, and titrated with uranium acetate, using the same standard solution as is used in the arsenic assay: 0.

We should ask them how to copy the allas and at the same time get them to tell Om to not let allas make uranium or plutonium.

But the point is that its heavy elements have been bombarded, and most of its uranium has gone over to plutonium and americium and curium.

There must be no mention of Yates and his Burch apparatus in America, not one word about the FBI and their problem with highly enriched uranium.

This property is made use of in determining the quantity of uranium in pure solutions by titrating with permanganate of potassium solution as in the case with iron.

This made economic sense, because Canada had lots of natural uranium and a great deal of hydroelectric power, and during off-peak times this surplus electricity could be used to separate deuterium from hydrogen by electrolysis to make heavy water.

My guess would be that uranium salts act as a catalytic agent in the processes of metabolism and digestion, somewhat as some of our own ductless gland secretions.

Or Captain James had ordered it left off to save the navy sixty-four cents worth of enched uranium.

He must wave off the boarders and the submarine, then immediately turn to his chain of command in the rezidentura to learn where the shipment of uranium oxide might be headed next.

The Order conformed to the times, to an age of uranium and steel and flaring rocketry, amid the growl of heavy industry and the high thin whine of star drive converters.

The bacterium is fed metal sulfides and sprayed on ores with a concentration of less than 1 percent uranate, the insoluble form of natural uranium.

The uranates, in which the oxide of uranium acts as an acid, are mostly insoluble and of secondary importance.

I told you when I showed you around the plant, the uranium and plutonium undergo several extraction stages to remove any lingering impurities before they separate to form uranyl nitrate and plutonium nitrate respectively.

One was that a hundred pounds of pure, weapons-grade Uranium 235 was lodged at the secret Vinca Institute in the heart of Belgrade.

Before he quit Belgrade, a thumbnail-sized sample of Uranium 235 was stolen from the Vinca Institute, and the records were changed to show that a full fifteen kilograms had really gone missing.
