URANIUM FACTS

Uranium is a very heavy (dense) metal which can be used as an abundant source of concentrated energy.
It occurs in most rocks in concentrations of 2 to 4 parts per million and is as common in the earth's crust as tin, tungsten and molybdenum. It occurs in seawater, and could be recovered from the oceans if prices rose significantly.
It was discovered in 1789 by Martin Klaproth, a German chemist, in the mineral called pitchblende. It was named after the planet Uranus, which had been discovered eight years earlier.
Uranium was apparently formed in super novae about 6.6 billion years ago. While it is not common in the solar system, today its radioactive decay provides the main source of heat inside the earth, causing convection and continental drift.
The high density of uranium means that it also finds uses in the keels of yachts and as counterweights for aircraft control surfaces (rudders and elevators), as well as for radiation shielding.
Its melting point is 1132°C. The chemical symbol for uranium is U.

PLUTONIUM

Name: Plutonium
Symbol: Pu
Atomic Number: 94
Atomic Mass: (244.0) amu
Melting Point: 639.5 °C (912.65 °K, 1183.1 °F)
Boiling Point: 3235.0 °C (3508.15 °K, 5855.0 °F)
Number of Protons/Electrons: 94
Number of Neutrons: 150
Classification: Rare Earth
Crystal Structure: Monoclinic
Density @ 293 K: 19.84 g/cm3
Color: Unknown

Plutonium is silvery in pure form, but has a yellow tarnish when oxidized.
The heat given off by alpha particle emission makes plutonium warm to the touch in reasonable quantities; larger amounts can boil water. It displays four ionic oxidation states in aqueous solution:

Pu3+ (blue lavender)
Pu4+ (yellow brown)
PuO2+ (pink orange)
PuO+ (thought to be pink; this ion is unstable in solution and will disproportionate into Pu4+ and PuO2+; the Pu4+ will then oxidize the remaining PuO+ to PuO2+, being reduced in turn to Pu3+. Thus, aqueous solutions of plutonium tend over time towards a mixture of Pu3+ and PuO2+.)

Our needs are 200,000 tonnes of Plutonium per month. We have a budget 200,000 Mc (£4,000,000) can you provide us with this much per month without fail?

Most certainly you will recieve your supply each month, the plutonium will be the highest of quality

Pleasure doing buisness

stalin the peaceful

Great! Expect a group of 20 escort carriers (called escort carrier group 'stalin') and corvette group 'escort' to visit you every month from the first of july. It will bring the money AND take the 'goods' back with them

Ok the deal has been done

Weapons grade Uranium = 500,000,000
Factory grade Uranium = 200,000,000
HouseHold uranium = 5,000,000

PLUTONIUM
Weapons grade Plutonium 10 megaton =5,000,000,000
Weapons grade Plutonium 20 megaton =10,000,000,000

can i have these please 800,000,000 how dose that sound :twisted: :twisted:

Power plant plutonium (for use in power plants or factorys)


First of all, it is impossible, ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE, to produce 200,000 tons of Plutonium in a month, let alone a year, let alone ten years, probably even a hundred years. Plutonium is a very rare byproduct of Uranium nuclear reactors. It isn't even possible to produce that much Uranium in a month, or even a year. You MIGHT be able to mine that much Uranium ORE in a year... I'll suspend disbelief on that one, because this is NS, not RL, and some amount of exaggeration is understandable.

So lets say you're able to mine 200,000 tons of Uranium ore in a year's time. 99.3% of that is Uranium isotope 238, which isn't particularly useable. Think of it as filler. The other 0.7% of that is Uranium isotope 235, the good stuff for making reactor fuel and bombs. So lets do the math. Out of 200,000 tons of Uranium ore, only 1,400 tons are U-235. The rest (198,600 tons) are U-238, the filler.

For Uranium to be useable in a reactor as fuel, it needs to be at least 3.5% U-235, so we need to refine the Uranium in order to bring the U-235 up from 0.7% to 3.5% So, with 1,400 tons of U-235 from 200,000 tons of ore, you could only make 40,000 tons of reactor grade Uranium. (1,400 tons U-235 & 38,600 tons U-238)

Now we'll move on the weapons grade Uranium. For Uranium to be fissile in a weapons system, it needs to be at least 90% U-235. So lets go back to our 1,400 ton quantity of U-235. With 1,400 tons of U-235 from 200,000 tons of ore, you could only make a total of 1,555.555(rep) tons of weapons grade Uranium. (1,400 tons U-235 & 155.555(rep) tons of U-238).

In a nuclear reactor, only about 1% of U-235 becomes Plutonium, which then needs to be processed out. I won't go into the process of how it is synthesized right now, but it cannot be found in nature. So, if you have 40,000 tons of reactor grade Uranium, with 1,400 tons of U-235, you would only end up with about 14 tons of Plutonium.

Furthermore, Plutonium is not measured in "megatons", it is measured in tons or kilograms, and it _could_ potentially be measured in estimated yield per __________. Also, your prices are all way out in left field, and you don't say what the unit of measure is for the given price.

I highly suggest fixing your storefront.

based on the points made by Sembryl, I must agree with the fact you can not produce so much plutonium as I have requested. Unless your entire nation is flooded with uranium, you will find impossible to give the plutonium i have requested. Therefore, I have decided that I shall only have only one months supply at the price we have agreed upon. I shall have to make my own plutonium again. however, we have ways of making uranium into plutonium a lot more efficently!

how dumb can you get!!!!!!!!! that stuff will kill you, it will kill your people! and it is impossible to create that much!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

Thats how much it costs, so i suggest you get your facts right before you question me.

Moleland uranium minning is the second biggest economic activity im my nation i would be happy to help with any need you may have with the buying of ore or any refinned products Pm me if you would like further info

Reactor grade uranium costs about $35,000 per metric ton, and weapons grade costs upwards of $900,000 per metric ton. An easy formula to remember is $10,000 per 1% U-235 per metric ton.

Easy green, we here at moleland are interested in your offer. How much will you charge us for uranium, per ton?
