Legend

Name origin:	Named for the planet Uranus.
Description:	Silvery-white, dense, ductile, malleable, radioactive metal.
Discovered by:	Martin Klaproth
Year:	1789
Place:	Germany
Sources:	Occurs in many rocks, but in large amounts only in such minerals as pitchblende and carnotite.
Use(s):	For many centuries it was used as a pigment for glass. Now it is used as a fuel in nuclear reactors and in bombs.
