A
Chernobylite
💡 Explanation:
Chernobylite is a technogenic mineral with high (up to 10%) content of uranium as a solid solution. It is black and yellow. It was discovered in the corium produced in the Chernobyl accident, a lava-like glassy material formed in a nuclear meltdown of a reactor core. Chernobylite is highly radioactive due to its high uranium content and contamination by fission products.
