List	Version	Source flow	Name there	Why this flow
EF	3.1	fe0acd60-3ddc-11dd-af96-0050c2490048	uranium-238	The consensus list is built from this one, so this row is the flow itself rather than something matched to it.
ecoinvent	3.12	543421e8-f0b3-45a2-b0ed-03489e878138	Uranium-238	A curator's mapping table (ecoinvent-3.11-biosphere-EF-3.1-biosphere) names this flow.
ecoinvent	3.8	543421e8-f0b3-45a2-b0ed-03489e878138	Uranium-238	A curator's mapping table (ecoinvent-3.8-biosphere-EF-3.1-biosphere.json) names this flow.

Every implementation that says anything about this flow. Published as is what this list did with the row: where more than one implementation states a number and they agree it publishes it as agreed; where only one speaks, as sole; where they disagree it publishes nothing and asks.
