Definition that contains uranium ore
- po a radioactive metallic element that is similar to tellurium and bismuth; occurs in uranium ores but can be produced by bombarding bismuth with neutrons in a nuclear reactor
- ra an intensely radioactive metallic element that occurs in minute amounts in uranium ores
- ac a radioactive element of the actinide series; found in uranium ores
- plutonium a solid silvery grey radioactive transuranic element whose atoms can be split when bombarded with neutrons; found in minute quantities in uranium ores but is usually synthesized in nuclear reactors; 13 isotopes are known with the most important being plutonium 239

- pitchblende a mineral consisting of uranium oxide and trace amounts of radium and thorium and polonium and lead and helium; uraninite in massive form is called pitchblende which is the chief uranium ore
- radium an intensely radioactive metallic element that occurs in minute amounts in uranium ores
- np a radioactive transuranic metallic element; found in trace amounts in uranium ores; a by-product of the production of plutonium
- polonium a radioactive metallic element that is similar to tellurium and bismuth; occurs in uranium ores but can be produced by bombarding bismuth with neutrons in a nuclear reactor
- yellowcake an impure mixture of uranium oxides obtained during the processing of uranium ore
