... only 0.7% of the fissile U-235 isotope. In this form, uranium has a relatively low level of radioactivity and is unsuitable for nuclear reactors or weapons. Natural uranium is sometimes used as reactor fuel, particularly in countries where enrichment technology is limited. An example is Canada’s CANDU reactors, which can operate on natural uranium. Enriched Uranium Enriched uranium has an increased concentration of the U-235 isotope, which enables an efficient nuclear reaction. The degree of enrichment ...

... balance its energy imports, seeking maximum benefits. Nevertheless, oil, gas, and coal supplies from Russia to China are expected to grow due to strong mutual interest. In nuclear energy, Russia and China are competitors, Malkov notes. However, Russian technology is "more than a generation ahead" of Chinese technology, he adds. A strategically important area of cooperation could involve direct electricity supplies from Russia to China. Currently, electricity is delivered via the high-voltage ...
