How Enriched URANIUM is MADE☢️ | How URANIUM is EXTRACTED FROM MINES | From Mine to Reactor

Embark on a fascinating journey into the world of nuclear energy as we explore the process of extracting and processing uranium, one of the Earth’s most powerful elements, to fuel nuclear reactors and generate electricity. Join us as we delve into the depths of the world’s largest high-quality uranium deposit in northern Saskatchewan, Canada, and witness the intricate steps involved in transforming this element into nuclear fuel. Discover how uranium, first discovered in 1789, plays a crucial role in nuclear energy production and how scientists harnessed its power to generate electricity over a century later. From the initial excavation process, where drills penetrate 500 meters underground, to the extraction of uranium ore from beneath layers of sandstone, we unveil the rigorous methods used to obtain this vital resource. Follow the journey of uranium ore as it undergoes various processes, including crushing, grinding, and chemical treatment, to extract and purify the uranium. Learn how
