Where is uranium found?

Published by Cindy at 4:42 pm under Science, Where?

Uranium was first discovered in silver mines in what is now the Czech Republic by a German chemist named Martin Klaproth.   Uranium, a dense silver-white metal, is found abundantly in the crust of the earth.  It’s also found in soil, rivers, the ocean, in the food we eat and even - in trace amounts - in human tissue.   The largest uranium deposits are found in Australia, Kazakhstan and Canada.  Only Canadian deposits contain high-grade uranium.
