1. Describe your energgy.
Uranium is a nuclear energy. Uranium can be found in soil, rocks, rivers and oceans. Even food and human tissue. Uranium is heavy, shiny, and softer than steel and can rust.
2. Identify renewable or non-rewnewable and tell why.
Uranium is non-renewable because the eons it took to create them and mankinds inability to synthesize similar fuels today readily.
3. Where is your energy source located and how is it recovered?
Uranium is only found by minning. Many places mine for Uranium like Canada and Australia. Companies that recover it are Cameco, Rio Tinto, Areva, KazAtomProm, BHP Billiton, TVEL, and Navoi. there are no Uranium mined in Louisiana.
4. Who uses this energy source and for what purpose?
france, the USA, China, Germany, Hungary, Spain, India and many more all use Uranium. they all use it for the same use, Electricity.
5. Effects of using this energy source on the enviroment(good or bad)
Using Uranium in the enviroment cand be good but also bad. It can be could cause it provides us with a source that we use everyday, electricity, but uranium can also be used in a very bad way on the enviroment. Some countries use Uranium as weapon. They use Uranium to make Nuclear bombs. Another way Uranium can be bad in the enviroment is if someone is highly exposed to uranium it can cause very, very serious helth problems.
6. give three important facts about the energy that haven't been answered.
One fact about Uranium in Lousiana is that New Orleans imports it. Uranium's name came from the planet Uranus, which was discovered eight years earlier in 1791. Uranium is 40 times more naturally abundant than silver.
