Scientific visual elements: Clear scientific callout labels for 'Uranium Atom (U-238)', 'Alpha Particle Emission (α)', and 'Mineral Crystal Matrix'. Subtle radiation waves radiating from the core.. Setting: presented on a clean, minimalist off-white editorial background. Color palette: Charcoal gray bedrock, warm radioactive yellow-orange core glow, dark cyan fluid pocket.., hand-drawn 2D explainer cartoon illustration, thick clean black outlines, simplified readable forms, flat cel-style colors, soft minimal shading, clean educational YouTube illustration, clear focal hierarchy, no photorealism, no 3D rendering, no typography, no text, no watermarks
