Bookmark or Share- Enriched uranium - WikipediaEnriched uranium is a type of uranium in which the percent composition of uranium-235 (written 235 U) has been increased through the process of isotope separation.
- Uranium Enrichment | NRC.govUranium can be enriched by separating isotopes of uranium with lasers. Molecules can be excited by laser light; this is called photoexcitation. Lasers can increase the energy in the electrons of a specific isotope, changing its properties and allowing it to be separated.
- Fact Sheet: Uranium Enrichment: For Peace or for WeaponsHighly enriched uranium (HEU) is anything enriched above 20% and weapon-grade uranium is commonly considered to have been enriched above 90% U-235. However, some research reactors use 90% enriched U-235 to produce medical isotopes, so there are civilian applications for this fuel too.
- Enriched Uranium: What is it and what is it for? - Nuclear energyEnriched uranium is uranium that has undergone a technological process to increase the proportion of the isotope uranium-235. As a result, natural uranium is divided into enriched uranium and depleted uranium .
- What Is Enriched Uranium? - SmithsonianUranium enrichment, then, is the process by which a sample of uranium has its proportion of U-235 increased. The first people to figure out how to do this were the scientists of the Manhattan...
