which involves increasing the concentration of the Uranium-235 isotope that is needed for nuclear fission. We’ll explain the different methods of uranium enrichment, such as gas diffusion and ...

All uranium isotopes are radioactive, but one particular isotope called Uranium-235 (U-235) is critical for providing nuclear energy and in nuclear weapons. The military has applications for U-235 ...

One isotope of uranium, uranium-235, undergoes nuclear fission, an ingredient essential to the creation of the atom bomb. Nuclear power plants create electricity using energy released by fission.

The enrichment centrifuge is a device used to extract uranium-235 isotope from a sample of natural uranium. U-235 is fissile and thus useful to generate nuclear power and to build nuclear weapons.

The miniaturization of a powerful source of energy is already underway, and it will be safer and cheaper than traditional ...
