Uranium deposits are found all over the world. The largest deposits of uranium are found in Australia, Kazakhstan and Canada. High-grade deposits are only found in Canada.
In nature, uranium is generally found as an oxide, such as in the olive-green-colored mineral pitchblende. Uranium oxide is also the chemical form most often used for nuclear fuel. Uranium-fluorine compounds are also common in uranium processing, with uranium hexafluoride (UF 6) and uranium tetrafluoride (UF 4) being the two most common. In its pure form, uranium is a silver-colored metal. Uranium Oxides - U 3 O 8 and UO 2. The most common forms of uranium oxide are U 3 O 8 and UO 2. Both oxide forms are solids that have low solubility in water and are relatively stable over a wide range of environmental conditions. Triuranium octaoxide (U 3 O 8) is the most stable form of uranium and is the form most commonly found in nature. Uranium dioxide (UO 2) is the form in
