How does uranium not contaminate nature with radioactivity if its naturally occuring?
In: Other
Uranium in its most common natural state isn’t particularly dangerous provided it doesn’t get into your body – dust, for example, would be bad to breathe in and you wouldn’t want to eat it either. But you could be around it otherwise and be fine. The stuff used in power plants etc is highly highly enriched and contains much larger quantities of the more radioactive isotopes than you would find in its natural form.
