Maybe these words will be useful:
- uranium-235 — a uranium radioisotope that is used in nuclear fission
- uranium-bearing — containing or producing uranium
- uranium — a white, lustrous, radioactive, metallic element, occurring in pitchblende, and having compounds that are used in photography and in coloring glass. The 235 isotope is used in atomic and hydrogen bombs and as a fuel in nuclear reactors. Symbol: U; atomic weight: 238.03; atomic number: 92; specific gravity: 19.07.
- uranium 235 — the radioactive uranium isotope having a mass number of 235, comprising 0.715 percent of natural uranium. When bombarded with neutrons it undergoes fission with the release of energy.
- uranium 238 — the radioactive uranium isotope having a mass number 238, comprising 99.28 percent of natural uranium: used chiefly in nuclear reactors as a source of the fissionable isotope plutonium 239.
- uranium 239 — the uranium isotope with a mass number 239. It is artificially produced by the neutron bombardment of uranium 238.
- uranium dating — a method of dating archaeological or geological specimens by determining the decay activity of the uranium in a given sample.
- uranium dioxide — a black, crystalline compound, UO 2 , insoluble in water, used in nuclear fuel rods, in ceramics, and pigments.
- uranium hexafluoride — a colorless, water-insoluble, crystalline, volatile solid, UF 6 , used in its gaseous state in separating uranium 235 from uranium.
- uranium oxide — any of the compounds of uranium and oxygen, as UO 2 , UO 3 , U 4 O 9 , or U 3 O 8 .
