If I dig uranium from the ground, at that form, is it dangerous or do I have to do somethings to it.
What is done to Uranium or plutonium to get them to boil the water in a nuclear reactor.
So If someone hypothetical digs 2 pieces of uranium from the ground, place them into the opposite ends of a long covered metal tube, then have explosives force the two pieces into each other, would nuclear fission (or fussion idk) occur?
Also, is nuclear engineering just a branch of chemistry
