uranium in the bucket

"Put the Uranium in the Bucket" is a phrase used by the most elite of Machine operators. This phrase represents courage, determination and third stage leukemia

"now, with your bare hands put the uranium in the bucket... if you know what I mean"

uranium 238

Uranium 238, or u-238, is the most common isotope of uranium. If you shoot a neutron at it, it becomes u-239 and then something else called neptunium 239 and then plutonium 239, which is extremely fissile.

Slash: Man I'm bored. I wish I had some uranium 238 to blow something up.
Torch: Wtf? You wanna end up like that radioactive scout guy? Besides u-238 ain't the stuff used in atom bombs, it's u-235. You use u-238 to make plutonium.
Slash: Plutonium? Now you're talking! Get me some of that shit!

uranium 235

Uranium235 is an isotope of uranium that differs from the element's other common isotope, uranium-238, by its ability to cause a rapidly expanding fission chain reaction. A uranium nucleus that absorbs a neutron splits into two lighter nuclei; this is called nuclear fission. It releases either two or three neutrons which continue the reaction. In nuclear reactors, the reaction is slowed down by the addition of control rods which are made of elements such as boron, cadmium, and hafnium which can absorb a large number of neutrons. In nuclear bombs, the reaction is uncontrolled and the large amount of energy released creates a nuclear explosion.

One atom of U-235 generates 200 MeV = 3.2 × 10-11 J, i.e. 18 TJ/mol = 77 TJ/kg.

Only around 0.72% of all natural uranium is uranium-235, the rest being mostly uranium-238. This concentration is insufficient for a self sustaining reaction; enrichment, which just means separating out the uranium-238, must take place to get a usable concentration of uranium-235. For an explosion, approximately 90% purity is required.

Have fun with u235. Play catch with it or something.

uranium fever

a song by elton britt made popular by the fallout franchise

Well, I don't know, but I've been told
Uranium ore's worth more than gold
Sold my Cad', I bought me a Jeep
I've got that bug and I can't sleep

Uranium fever has done and got me down
Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
With a Geiger counter in my hand
I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
Uranium fever has done and got me down

Well I had talk with the AEC*
And they brought out some maps that looked good to me
And one showed me a spot that he said he knowed
So I straddled my Jeep and headed down the road

I reckon I drove about 100 miles
Down a bumpy road out through the wilds
When all of sudden I bounced to a stop

At the foot of a mountain, didn't have no top

Uranium fever has done and got me down
Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
With a Geiger counter in my hand
I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
Uranium fever has done and got me down

Well I took my Geiger and I started to climb
Right up to the top where I thought I'd find
A hunk of rock that would make it click
Just like I'd read about Vernon Pick

On the second day, I made the top
And I'm tellin' you, Steve, I was ready to stop
The only clickin' that I heard that day
Was the bones in my back that had gone astray

Uranium fever has done and got me down
Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
With a Geiger counter in my hand
I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
Uranium fever has done and got me down
eh its to long just look up the song

Uranium Fever

Uranium fever is another word for cancer, usually used after someone has been through chemo therapy. Particularly used as an insult.

Teacher: Max won't be coming to school for a week, he has just been through chemo therapy.

Alex: Max just has Uranium Fever lol.

Uranium flush

When one simply forgets to use contraceptive and tries to piss out the semen before she gets impregnated.

‘Bust’s his load’
“Oh fuck, I forgot to take the pill. I’ll be right back after my Uranium flush”
