Last month, we asked our audience which of the following is the most common uranium isotope in nature? Overall, 63 percent of our audience voted for U-238. Next, U-235 received the second most votes at 27 percent. Finally, U-283 and U-239 tied for the least amount of votes at five percent each.
The correct answer is U-238. Uranium-238 (238U or U-238) is the most common isotope of uranium found in nature, with a relative abundance of 99%. Unlike uranium-235, it is non-fissile, which means it cannot sustain a chain reaction in a thermal-neutron reactor.
