uranberikelse
Uranberikelse is the process of increasing the concentration of the isotope uranium-235 (U-235) in uranium. Naturally occurring uranium is composed of about 99.3% uranium-238 (U-238) and only about 0.7% U-235. U-235 is the fissile isotope, meaning it can sustain a nuclear chain reaction, which is essential for both nuclear power generation and the creation of nuclear weapons.
The enrichment process is necessary because the natural concentration of U-235 is too low to be used
Several methods are used for uranium enrichment, with gaseous diffusion and gas centrifuges being the most
Uranium enrichment is a technologically complex and energy-intensive process. Due to its dual-use nature, it is
