The Importance of Controlled Nuclear Fission for Afghanistan Abstract Afghanistan is a country which possesses different metallic and nonmetallic mineral mines. Among the interesting mineral mines Uranium is one of the major mineral resources which can be found in northern Khan Nishine area in Helmand province. According to NASA (2012) preliminary estimations, the mentioned Uranium mine has million tons reservoirs of uranium. Afghanistan needs electricity for lighting its cities and other areas; it also needs water to irrigate some lands. In addition, Afghanistan needs a number of equipped hospitals for treatment of various types of cancer by radiation and prevents from the fertilization of onions during the winter and spring by use of cobalt – 60 radiations. The main purpose of the article is to show the resources of uranium ore in Afghanistan. It also explores the creation of fast breeder nuclear reactor based on the resources of uranium ore. The author reviewed a large number of books related to resources of uranium ore in Afghanistan. The review of literature shows that Afghanistan contains more than 2 million tons of reservoirs of uranium – and uranium – . It also demonstrates that the uranium ore in Afghanistan is enough for creating 30 nuclear reactors, which will be active for about 500 years. These reactors can generate a large amount of electricity and more than 200 types’ radio isotopes.
