Enriched uranium is a form of uranium that has been refined and condensed into a piece of fissile material. Enriched uranium comes in two forms, mainly Uranium-235 and Uranium-238. These two isotopes of Uranium serve different uses in nuclear engineering in Atomic Science. Uranium-235 can be used as fissile material and can be crafted into a fissile fuel rod for fission reaction while Uranium-238 is used for breeding depleted fuel rods allowing them to be reused again.
Use
Uranium-235 can be used to craft a fissile fuel rod.
Obtainment
Enriched uranium is obtained through spinning the gas uranium hexafluoride in a centrifuge.
