Third, even if they had uranium or any metal of its class, they couldn't use it without a complete knowledge of, and ability to handle, the fourth and fifth orders of rays.
Of course, uranium is a much more efficient source of power," agreed Rovol, "and you are to be congratulated for thinking of it.
For five minutes, until that far-flung screen had gone as far as it could be thrown by the utmost power of the uranium bar, the two men stared at the unresponsive instruments, then Seaton shrugged his shoulders.

On the other hand, Becquerel has in a somewhat analogous way mixed inactive barium chlorid with uranium chlorid, and from the solution has obtained likewise a radio-active barium.
Bolton explained, has attacked the problem from the synthetic side, and by fusing inactive barium nitrate with uranium nitrate, he has obtained a barium sulphate which has more or less radio-activity.

Since pitch-blende contained uranium, oruranium salts, he surmised that a somewhat similar result might be obtained with the ore itself.
The discovery of the radio-active properties of uranium was followed about two years later by the discovery that thorium, and the minerals containing thorium, possess properties similar to those of uranium.
Further investigations by Lord Kelvin, Beattie, Smolan, and Rutherford confirmed the fact that, like the Roentgen rays, the uranium rays not only acted upon the photographic plate but discharged electrified bodies.
It is by no means a recently discovered mineral, having been for some years the source of uranium and its compounds, which, on account of their brilliant colors, have been used in dye-stuffs and some kinds of stained glass.
Yet," the uranium merchant went on, "I have a fondness for Nanlo.
Sometimes love transforms the weak," the uranium merchant said slowly.
Hugh Neils was a recent college graduate whom Negu Mah had hired as an assistant supervisor in the refining mills on Callisto, where the precious uranium 235 was separated from the ordinary metal.

Last year you--or Winnie--got a query on uranium and found that there wasn't any to be had.
The mission was to drop it on Paramushiro before the Army could get going with its uranium bomb.
The rare, radioactive element just below uranium in the periodic table of the elements, the element used to power this very ship!
Two or more correctly sized pieces of plutonium or uranium isotope, when brought together, formed what was known as a critical mass, which would fission.
And yet, among the experiments that Fermi was trying in 1934 was that of sending his neutrons crashing intouranium atoms.
And indeed, uranium (atomic number 92) changes to lead (atomic number 82).
When a uranium atom broke down through a series of steps to a lead atom, it produced a million times as much energy as that same atom would release if it were involved in even the most violent of chemical changes.
Nevertheless, that enormous energy change in the radioactive breakdown represented only about one-half of 1% of the total energy to which the mass of the uranium atom was equivalent.
And in the future our economy can use that load ofuranium up there.
There's uranium there--one big load located in the most inaccessible spot imaginable.
The East knew about the load of uranium in Crater Arzachel.
This was in reality the goal at which Edmund had been aiming, for he had told us that uranium was sometimes found in association with lead.
The substance which I obtain from uranium is so concentrated that I can carry in my pocket all that will be required to repair the damage done to the transformers in the car.
Or maybe we will join the pioneers who are going to try to establish a new colony at the uranium mines at Great Slave Lake or in the Congo.
Just using the uranium and plutonium intended for bombs, they had enough to go on for thousands of years.
The same is the case also with Uranium which, however, so far as is yet known, undergoes only one transmutation into what is known as Uranium X.
The colony on Ganymede was more of a supply depot than a permanent settlement, with one large uranium refinery to convert the pitchblende brought in by the prospectors of the asteroids.

Just the way they did about uranium and atomic experiments during the war.
Observer units would be flown over the planet, with instruments to locate atom-bomb plants and possibly uranium deposits.
Although I thought it improbable that the location of our uranium deposits would be of interest to space men, a Washington official told me it would be relatively simple to detect the ore areas with airborne instruments.
Miles, keeping his eyes on the cadets, who were now staggering back to the stairs, each carrying a heavy lead box containing the precious uranium pitchblende.
