The uranium ore mined today contains only 0.72% of fissionable 235U,too little to make reactor fuel for thermal-neutron fission.For this reason,the mined ore must be enriched with 235U. Both 235U(T1/2=7.0×108y) and 238U(T1/2=4.5×109y) are radioactive. How far back in time would natural uranium ore have been a practical reactor fuel,with a 238U235U ratio of 3.0%?
