Annotated bibliography #5 Uranium info

World nuclear association June 2006. What is uranium? How does it work? retrieved April 13th 2010 from www.world-nuclear.org

This is an interesting source about uranium, which is used to create nuclear energy. It gets into pretty technical details about how the process works on the atomic level but explains it simply enough that a careful reader can understand. It also explains how uranium goes from the mines to becoming a nuclear fuel. After that it talks about nuclear power, who uses it and some of the benefits. It also talks about where we get the uranium we need and the other not so peaceful uses of uranium. I think it is a good source but I would be sure to consider it to have a pro nuclear bias.
