Uranium and the majority of the other heavy elementsâ¦ are formed by stellar nucleosynthesis in novas and supernovas. Heavy elements from the various sources in our galaxy combined with the mass of hydrogen that was the beginning of the formation our solar system around five billion years ago.
Uranium is important in nuclear energy because one of its isotopes, specifically uranium-235, is fissile, which means that it can be readily fissioned by the introduction of aâ¦ neutron, splitting into parts and releasing substantial energy, along with more neutrons that can go on to cause fission in more atoms in a chain reaction.
