Introduction
Uranium is a chemical element crucial to the creation of nuclear energy. It is highly radioactive with a long half-life and is used as a fuel source in nuclear reactors as well as a key component in the manufacture of nuclear bombs and warheads. It is a chemical element found within the crust of the Earth and is primarily extracted through underground mining.
Uranium is very unevenly distributed throughout the earth, leaving some countries with a lion’s share to export and earn from. The country with the largest export and reserves of uranium is currently Kazakhstan, producing and exporting a total of 46% of the world’s uranium.
