Abstract:
<p align="justify"> Uranium is silvery-white metal of the actinide series. It is the heaviest of naturally occurring elements and it is found in low concentrations in soil, water and rocks. Uranium is relatively reactive and combines with oxygen, sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, phosphorus, bromine and other elements. This article describes some of the properties and uses of uranium and presents a synopsis of the two hundred and four (204) uranium minerals known at the present time. </p>
