Tortoise Under the Earth is the English title of the 2022 Indian film Dharti Latar Re Horo
Description about Film:
The Film story is all about
Uranium mining in Jharkhand needs to be urgently addressed and openly discussed The film explores the connection between tribal groups and the forest, their culture, and each other, and how unchecked development and displacement are rapidly disappearing their world.
A tribal couple in Jharkhand, India cope with the loss of their daughter in a uranium mining area.
What is Uranium?
Uranium is a silvery-white metallic chemical element in the periodic table, with atomic number 92.
Features of Uranium
A uranium atom has 92 protons and 92 electrons, of which 6 are valence electrons. Uranium has the highest atomic weight of all naturally occurring elements.
Where we can found uranium ?
Uranium occurs naturally in low concentrations in soil, rock and water, and is commercially extracted from uranium-bearing minerals such as uraninite.
Where and Who discovered the Uranium?
Uranium was discovered in 1789 by Martin Klaproth, a German chemist, who isolated an oxide of uranium while analyzing pitchblende samples from the Joachimsthal silver mines in the former Kingdom of Bohemia, located in present-day Czechia.
Potential of Uranium:
Uranium is now used in
Defence and Maritime security
Uranium "enriched" into U-235 concentrations can be used as fuel for nuclear power plants and the nuclear reactors that run naval ships and submarines. It also can be used in nuclear weapons.
Medical:
Uranium and other radionuclides are used by nuclear medicine (MRIs, X-rays, radioisotope injections, radiation treatment, etc.), scientific research (age-dating materials, compositional information, metabolic studies, etc.)
Agriculture and Farming:
uranium is used for irradiating food and seeds consumer products
Manufacturing and industry:
Uranium is used in smoke detectors, watches, irradiating bandages and other items to sterilize them, computer components, etc materials testing for numerous industries (automotive, aircraft, construction, mining and oil)
Sustainable fuels:
Uranium used in satellites and rockets support fuels for Space exploration.
Physical properties of Uranium:
Uranium metal is very dense it is 1.67 times more dense than lead. A chicken-egg sized amount of uranium fuel can provide as much electricity as 88 tonnes of coal.
Facts about Uranium:
Uranium is among the more common elements in the earth's crust about 500 times more common than gold.
It is very rare element, small amounts of uranium are present everywhere in rock, soil, water, and even our bodies.
There are also large amounts of highly diluted uranium in the ocean approximately four billion tonnes.
There are three natural isotopes of uranium:
1.uranium-234 (U-234)
2.uranium-235 (U-235)
3.uranium-238 (U-238).
U-238 is the most common one, accounting for around 99 per cent of natural uranium found on earth. Most nuclear reactors use fuels containing U-235.
U-235 concentration is being artificially increased through a process called enrichment.
