I suppose that the real price of enriched uranium is partially secret and also depends on the contract and the signing data. Also is a link between price and politics !
The most important is the enrichment percent in 235U: 3 % or 93 % ? And the quality: nuclear grade, weapons grade, standards for analysis (extremely expensive), etc.

Don't believe in the informations from TV, magazines, newspapers about the prices on the black market: only nonsense.

∙ 9y agoUranium can be enriched to 99,9 %.
But usually, for the use in nuclear reactors, the enrichment is under 20 %.

Uranium -235 and uranium -238 are different of uranium?
Isotopes Uranium 235 and uranium 238 are only natural isotopes of the element uranium.
What is uranium 235 when added to natural uranium?
Uranium-235 is not added to natural uranium, it is extracted from natural uranium by a process called enrichment.
What are 3 benefits of uranium 235?
Uranium 235 is a fissile material under thermal neutrons: - uranium 235 is used as a nuclear fuel in nuclear energetic reactors - uranium 235 can be used in nuclear bombs
What 2 radioactive elements were chosen for the atomic bomb?
Uranium and Plutonium
Are uranium 235 and uranium 238 said to be radioactive molecules since they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons?
No, Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are radioactive, natural isotopes (not molecules, but atoms) of the one and the same element: uranium.Both with 92 protons and 235-92 = 143 neutrons in U-235 but 146 neutrons in U-238.
How much uranium-235 is typically found in uranium ore when it is mined from the ground?
Uranium-235 is found in nature at about 0.7% concentration to uranium-238.
How much uranium 235 was used in fat boy?
Not "Fat boy" but "Fat man'; "Fat man" had putonium, not uranium 235.
What is the percentage of uranium-235?
Uranium-235 is an isotope of uranium making up about 0.72% of natural uranium.
What percentage of mined uranium is 235?
Approx. 0,7 % uranium 235 in natural uranium.

How much electricity does uranium produce?
1 kg of uranium-235 is equivalent to 24.10ex.6 kWh.
How many electrons ar in uranium-235?
Uranium 235 (and also all the isotopes of uranium) has 92 electrons.
Are uranium 235 and uranium 238 said to be radioactive molecules since they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons?
No, Uranium-235 and uranium-238 are radioactive, natural isotopes (not molecules, but atoms) of the one and the same element: uranium.Both with 92 protons and 235-92 = 143 neutrons in U-235 but 146 neutrons in U-238.
Are there different types of uranium?
Uranium is a chemical element with three natural isotopes (234, 235, 238). The natural uranium has cca. 0,72 % uranium-235; uranium with a concentration of uranium-235 under 0,72 % is called depleted uranium; uranium with a concentration of uranium -235 above 0,72 % is called enriched uranium. Uranium in nuclear power and research reactors is used as metal, aloys, uranium dioxide, uranium carbides, uranium silicides, etc.
