China discovers huge amounts of uranium in unexpected places
Chinese media indicated that the Chinese authorities discovered huge amounts of uranium deep in the earth, in a move that would strengthen China's national security.
What is remarkable about this discovery, however, is that the scientific community's understanding of the composition of uranium has changed, providing a new way to detect this substance worldwide.
The newspaper, "South China Morning Post", pointed out that this huge amount was found in depths where it was previously believed that it was impossible for uranium to form, up to 3,000 meters below the surface of the earth.
The discovery contributed to a 10-fold increase in China's total reserves of uranium to more than two million tons, according to the newspaper.
This discovery would place China almost in the same place with Australia, which is one of the world's richest countries in uranium.
This newly discovered reserve will help meet the growing demand for nuclear energy in China, which aims to reduce carbon emissions.
Of course, this uranium will also be used in the production of weapons, and it is believed that this new amount will help the country increase its military nuclear arsenal.
Previous theories believed that uranium is mainly concentrated in shallow and stable areas at the geophysical level, and that it is impossible to form uranium in such areas, which contributes to changing the scientific community's understanding of the formation of uranium and its genium.
But the latest discovery occurred in regions that experienced largely active tectonic movements. Previous theories believed that it was impossible to form uranium in such areas.
Of course, this uranium will also be used in the production of weapons, and it is believed that this new amount will help the country increase its military nuclear arsenal.
