Applications of uranium:
- nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors (without greenhouse effects, without release of carbon dioxide, economy of fossil fuels)
- explosive for nuclear weapons
- material for armors and projectiles
- catalyst
- additive for glass and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green colors)
- toner in Photography
- mordant for textiles
- shielding material (depleted uranium)
- ballast
- and other minor applications
Disadvantages of uranium:uranium is toxic an radioactive. Release radon and radium.
