Q. What happens if you swallow uranium?
Kidney damage has been seen in humans and animals after inhaling or ingesting uranium compounds. Ingesting water-soluble uranium compounds will result in kidney effects at lower doses than following exposure to insoluble uranium compounds. Inhaled insoluble uranium compounds can also damage the respiratory tract.
Q. Which country has the most amount of plutonium in the world?
The largest stockpiles belonged to the United States with 502 tons of plutonium, Russia with 271 tons and France with 236 tons, according to the report. Stocks of civilian plutonium grow by 70 tons each year, according to the report.
Q. How much uranium do we have left?
