@Blazerelf The Radioactive material is there whether we use it or not. The fact is, nuclear power doesn't "create" radioactive waste, the radioactivity is already in the material whether we use it or not. Look at all of the waste produced by fossil fuel burning. these pollutants are a significant contributor to lung cancer and health issues in general. You can be a hundred feet from a pile of nuclear waste and be fine, but you can never escape the fossil fuel pollution that is in our atmosphere.

@rhcp4565 if your uranium is so good as you say,whats with the nuclear waste leaft over ? would rather prefer eolic,wave and solar energy

@rhcp4565 was mean the half life it means the radioactivity will go away in 4 billion years?!

It's Bogeyman! NOT Boogyman, its not going to breakout in to a fucking dance as soon as you open the jar.

Its quite a disappointment they didn't play around with the uranium, of course, its fully understandable. hah.

@SoldatSolutrea I believe that a lot of that was caused by oxides and contamination from dusts with depleted uranium, they mentioned in the videos that Uranium is highly toxic, even if the radiation isn't affecting you the toxicity of the Uranium can.

@samgee2007 No it wasn't your dead wrong.

@BillyGatesHabbo what do you mean? Uranium is the key to our world's energy sources. It is WEAKLY RADIOACTIVE!! People know nothing about it they just believe what everyone else says about how horrible it is when in reality its NOT!! Do research if you do not believe me, for I have
By: rhcp4565. on 01 Aug 10, 04:21:03
Why do people fear uranium? It is WEAKLY RADIOACTIVE, and has a half life of over 4 BILLION YEARS? Why does the public believe it is so horrible? It is the reason why nuclear fission power is not expanding, becuase the public has false pretences about it when, in reality, it is the key to our future when natural gas and fossil fuels deplete.

Don't you dare speak ill of the professor. I'll hunt you down and experiment on you.

@DeaconSwayne Sorry, Uranus was discovered in 1781.
By: DeaconSwayne. on 23 Jul 10, 01:29:36
@samgee2007 Oh no it wasnt! It was discovered in 1789 by Klaproth, a german chemist i believe. Uranium is named after the planet Uranus which was discovered in 1791 so its name couldnt possibly have been there since the 7th century. Silly muslim trying to rewrite history.

Mmmmmyes, Mhmhmhm, world destruction is near. Excellent.

@samgee2007 And who was this muslim scientist?

E99 is featured in the game Singularity.

One thing that bugs me about Uranium is that it is used to make the orange glaze used on some fiestaware. It's like lead glaze, but worse!
By: williepie. on 04 Jun 10, 04:05:54
these videos answer alot of questions ive learned alot from them
By: samgee2007. on 17 May 10, 00:53:50
Uranium was discovered by muslim scientist way back in 7th century! Thats why the name is still stay there!

@MattOGormanSmith Did someone criticize the professor? Met him at a lecture series in Ireland. What a legend!

The longer the half-life, the less frequent particle emissions are (obviously). Say you have 100 atoms of U238 and 100 of Sr90. In the uranium, only 2.2x10^-8 atoms decay per year. In the strontium, it is 3.47 atoms that decay per year. Granted, total decay of an atom can have multiple emission events, but the rate of emission is still extremely low in U-238 compared to the strontium, and indeed, near all radioisotopes. Which is why the extreme caution puzzles me.
By: Idtelos. on 15 May 10, 05:00:47
@1RadicalOne Yes, it's half-life (T 1/2) is long, but it's during this time that it is decaying and releasing particles (alpha, beta) that if they go into (and through) you that it can cause serious harm.
By: 1RadicalOne. on 09 May 10, 21:45:10
Normal uranium's half-life is so long that its radioactivity is weak enough to be functionally harmless...why the apprehension and overly elaborate storage?
By: L00NGB00W. on 01 May 10, 00:03:07
I don't like how you downplayed the effects of depleteted uranium. When used in munitions, such as those used in Iraq, This oxygen-reaction causes the uraniium to be vaporised into the environment.

@EezyMacaroni Where do you get the hardened toilet bowls?
