Uranium Unleashed

🌍 Uranium (atomic number 92) is a heavy, radioactive element that powers our nuclear reactors and has shaped history with its role in nuclear weapons. ⚛️ Just 1 kg can produce over 1,400 megajoules of energy!
A person’s lifetime energy needs could be met by only a few hundred grams of uranium if fully used in a reactor — small enough to fit inside a drinks can. That’s how energy-dense nuclear fuel is. #uranium #renewables #uraniumunleashed #youtube

Did you know? 🌍 Nuclear power has a lifecycle carbon footprint of just 12 g CO2e/kWh, similar to wind! That's much lower than natural gas (490 g), oil (720 g), or coal (820 g). Even solar power (48 g) has a higher footprint than nuclear! #NuclearEnergy #CleanEnergy
