Uranium 238. Uranium 235. Uranium 234.

What do those numbers mean? We constantly see them surface in the media, especially with Iran and North Korea, and we see them any time the nuclear issue comes up. What is the difference between them? Are they all uranium? How are they similar? How are they different? An isotope is an element whose number of neutrons varies, but what does that mean for me and broader national security?

Thankfully we here at StrategicSwagger have made a handy guide for you!!!
