| Popis: |
Uranium was discovered in 1789 in the pitchblende ores of Saxony by Klaproth, but it was not until the almost simultaneous discovery of nuclear fission in 1938–39 and the outbreak of World War II that much research activity with uranium was begun. With the onset of the “energy crisis” even greater activity has centered about uranium. Most reactors now operating or planned in the near future in the United States depend essentially on U-235 as the fuel source.1 The United States Atomic Energy Commission has estimated that the required uranium to meet the demand from 1970 to 1980 was 206,000 short tons of U3O8.1 |
