How do you change uranium into fuel for nuclear energy?

Uranium is the fuel for nuclear energy. In most reactors it is used in the form of uranium dioxide, UO2, which is made into small cylinders 10mm diameter, and loaded into tubes made of zircaloy which are then sealed. A number of these tubes are then made up into a fuel assembly which is loaded and unloaded as a unit in and out of the reactor.
