Linked from

The 24 pages that link to Uranium-238, each with the reason it gives.

• Enrichment of uraniumRelated: It is the principal isotope from which uranium-235 must be separated.

• RadonRelated: Its decay chain produces radium-226 and ultimately radon-222.

• Plutonium-239Related: Neutron capture by uranium-238 initiates the reactor pathway that produces plutonium-239.

• Spent nuclear fuelRelated: Neutron capture transforms some of this abundant fuel constituent into plutonium.

• Uranium hexafluorideRelated: Its UF₆ molecules are slightly heavier and tend to separate from uranium-235-bearing molecules.

• Uranium-series datingRelated: Its decay chain supplies the uranium-series isotopes used in many age calculations.

• Mixed oxide fuelRelated: It forms most of the uranium oxide and can breed additional fissile plutonium in a reactor.

• GeoneutrinoRelated: Its decay chain produces a major share of Earth’s detectable geoneutrinos.

• Depleted uraniumRelated: It makes up most depleted uranium and contributes to its high density.

• NeptuniumRelated: Its neutron-capture chain is a major route to neptunium-239.

• Breeder reactorRelated: Breeders can turn this abundant isotope into plutonium-239.

• Uranium dioxideRelated: It makes up most uranium in ordinary UO₂ fuel and can capture neutrons to form plutonium.
