text: The uranium-235 used for bombs, on the other hand, needs to be enriched to about 90 percent—when uranium is this enriched, it only takes a very small amount to produce a huge result.
text: 0,72 % uranium-235; uranium with a concentration of uranium-235 under 0,72 % is called depleted uranium; uranium with a concentration of uranium -235 above 0,72 % is called enriched uranium.
text: Uranium can be enriched by separating isotopes of uranium with lasers.
text: Low enriched uranium (LEU) has a lower than 20% concentration of 235U; for instance, in commercial light water reactors (LWR), the most prevalent power reactors in the world, uranium is enriched to 3 to 5%
text: During the Manhattan Project weapons-grade highly-enriched uranium was given the codename oralloy,[citation needed] a shortened version of Oak Ridge alloy,[citation needed] after the location of the plants where the uranium was enriched.
text: It is not as radioactive as plutonium, a related element, but it can be enriched by extracting uranium 235 and used for nuclear weapons and power plants.
text: (For comparison, uranium used for nuclear weapons would have to be enriched in plants specially designed to produce at least 90% U-235.)
text: Uranium is usually enriched first for reactors and bombs instead of just being converted to metal, also most power reactors use enriched yellowcake not the pure metal.
text: In civilian light water reactors, Uranium is typically enriched to 3-5% uranium-235, and then generally converted back into a black powdered ceramic uranium oxide(UO 2 ) form, that is then compressively sintered into fuel pellets, a stack of which forms fuel rods of the proper composition and geometry for the particular reactor that the fuel is needed in.
text: Uranium for use in nuclear power plants is enriched to a U-235 concentration of 2-3%.
text: In nuclear weapons, it is believed uranium is enriched to about 90% U-235, although lower concentrations would still yield a working bomb.
text: Uranium can be enriched in a number of ways and to varying degrees depending on the intended use.
text: Uranium is enriched in U-235 by separating the isotopes by mass.
text: Depleted Uranium (DU) is a waste product, one that is left over when uranium is enriched to create fissionable material for nuclear weapons and reactors.
text: At uranium enrichment facilities, the gas centrifuge enrichment process uses the flow of gas through spinning cylinders (i.e., centrifuges) to produce uranium that is enriched to a higher concentration of U235.
text: Early in the nuclear age, uranium was enriched by the gaseous diffusion method.
