uranium mining and depleted uranium byproduct

Uranium mining is the process of extracting uranium, a radioactive element used primarily for energy production, from the Earth. Depleted uranium is a byproduct of uranium enrichment process and consists of predominantly of the isotope uranium-238, which has been depleted in the more fissile isotope uranium-235. It is used in various applications, including military armor and ammunition, but also poses a risk to human health and the environment if not properly handled and disposed of.
