The most rapidly developing and promising industries in which uranium and its compounds can be used are reviewed. All information is obtained from the most popular sources and compiled in such a way as to be accessible. The purpose of this paper is to gather up-to-date information on promising new developments in the application of uranium. This article will be useful to researchers whose work is directly related to uranium, as well as to all those who wish to expand their horizons. The results of the paper allow us to make conclusions about the potential application of uranium and its compounds both at present and in the near future.
