In the southern part of WesternCape Province, rain falls mostly in the winter months, and soils there form slowly and are generally thin and immature. The moderate temperatures and summer rainfallof the High Veld and eastern coastal areas create conditions for more productive organic decomposition, leading to dark, fertile soils, or chernozems, similar to tho...

  3.2. 3 Matière fissile 3.2.3. 1 Isotopes de l’uranium L’uranium-235, isotope fissile de l’uranium, ne représente que 0,7 p. 100 de l’uranium naturel ; le reste est constitué d’uranium-238, plus lourd. Aucun procédé chimique ne permet de séparer l’uranium-235 de l’uranium naturel, car ces deux isotopes ont des propriétés chimiques identiques. Plusieurs techniques ont cependant été mises au point pour les séparer, toutes fondées sur l’utilisation de l’infime différence de poids entre les deux...
