This is a handful of these uranium oxide fuel pellets.

Nuclear right now means water cooled reactor, uranium oxide solid fuel, poor fuel efficiency and steam turbine.

Ethylene oxide

Yellowcake uranium, Mark.

The reactors we have today use uranium oxide as a fuel. It's a ceramic material, chemically stable, but not very good at transferring heat.

Mix aluminum powder with iron oxide.

Thorium oxide for a catalyst bed.

It's less than one percent of uranium, it's about 0.7 percent uranium.

Hardly at all. That's why it is still around. Uranium, two isotopes uranium 235, uranium 238 both of course are radioactive.

We couldn't turn off the nitric oxide.

Uranium hexafluoride is a gas.

Uranium tetrafluoride is in solution.

He is not protecting himself from the uranium, he's protecting the uranium from himself.

These rockets use experimental motors like nitrous oxide.

I can get you crystal meth, nitrous oxide.

Ochre, iron oxide, charcoal. Oxy, stay with us.

But even China's realized, We can't built reactors based around water cooling and uranium oxide fuel, it's not going last that long. China's doing LFTR, even as we speak.

And then we get to uranium.

They took natural uranium, and they separated those two isotopes, highly enriched it in uranium 235.

Some, like aluminum oxide, tends to sequester the moisture.

It's going to stay in solution. But the uranium will come out as uranium hexafluoride, a gas.

And uranium 233 is being consumed but the neutrons from the fission are making new uranium 233.

It became uranium 233. Isn't that cool?

These lovely ladies are uranium fuel rods.

Large uranium reserves for nuclear fission still exist.

This is uranium oxide and when you put it in a reactor for a while, one of the things xenon does, it's a gas, so it's way, way, way less dense than solid fuel.

Uranium is used in the production of nuclear power.

Here's the decay chain that uranium 232 is on.

like uranium, plutonium, and everything else when they decay.

So, uranium, which is very big, wants to split.

You wouldn't happen to have any uranium on you?

We make this solid uranium oxide fuel and there's a single pellet, and then we put them in these big reactor fuel elements, zirconium tubes that are like 12 feet long and about this big around.

Nitrous oxide stopped being used as an anaesthetic a long time ago.

Nitrous oxide stopped being used as an anaesthetic a long time ago.

This was taken at Detroit's oxide superstadium about midway through the blackout.

You're fissioning uranium 233, but you're making a new one.

Look, if this is about the amount of nitrous oxide I gave you...

You hit the salt with fluorine gas, and what'll happen is... There's uranium tetrafluoride, four fluoride ions, and there's uranium hexafluoride, six fluoride ions.

Now What about thorium and uranium? Both are naturally occurring materials.

The uranium and plutonium took on a gas form to escape.

And they were the first people to describe this new chemical transmitter, nitric oxide.

The primary ingredients in geoengineering are specifically the oxides of metals, including aluminum oxide.

Here. On one side, you have mercuric oxide and graphite from your brake pads.

What nitric oxide does is it dilates blood vessels, so it lowers your blood pressure.

Uranium 233, if you hit it with a neutron it will fission.
