RE:Wow! ...
The statement: "To put it in perspective; a tenth of an ounce of uranium contains the equivalent energy of 6,613,868 pounds of coal." Is not correct, the correct ratio is 2 to 3 million to one, so 1 pound uranium equals 2 to 3 million pounds of coal. However, that assumes you can get all of the energy out of the uranium, but that is not possible. So for practical use in a reactor, 1 pound of natural uranium gives the energy of about 14,000 pounds of coal. Still impressive, but not outrageously so.
