Uranium is a chemical element with the symbol "U" and atomic number 92, primarily used in nuclear reactors. It has two important isotopes, U-238 and U-235, with U-235 being crucial for nuclear fission. Found in several countries, uranium is mined and enriched for energy and has historical ties to nuclear weapon development.
