uranium-235 atom absorbs a bombarding neutron, causing its nucleus to split apart into two atoms of lighter mass. At the same time, the fission reaction releases thermal and radiant energy, as well as releasing more neutrons. The newly released neutrons go on to bombard other uranium atoms, and the process repeats itself over and over.
Uranium was formed when the Earth was created and is found in rocks. all over the world. Rocks that contain a lot of uranium are called uranium. ore, or pitch-blende. Uranium, although abundant, is a nonrenewable. energy source. Three isotopes of uranium are found in nature, uranium-234, uranium-235, and uranium-238. These numbers refer to the number of. neutrons and protons in each atom. Uranium-235 is the form commonly. used for energy production because, unlike the other isotopes, the. nucleus splits easily when bombarded by a neutron.
