Being a Biochemistry major, I found the article on uranium mining
especially interesting. I have studied uranium and its place on the Periodic
Table of Elements. Uranium is in the "f-block" of the periodic table.
These elements are called actinides, or Rare Earth Metals. Uranium has several
isotopes - atoms that are the same chemically but have different masses. These
isotopes are unstable and emit radiation randomly, creating a dangerous
environment for humans.
