The refining of partially radioactive raw materials such as stone and dirt to extract the radioactive portion for use as nuclear fuel. One example, the use of a nuclear centrifuge to spin the raw material, using the difference in specific gravity to separate and extract the final product.
What else can I help you with?
How do scientist collect pure plutonium?
Irradiation of uranium in nuclear reactors, separation from the spent nuclear fuel, refining
What does refining Uranium do to it?
Uranium used in nuclear reactors must be very pure (to avoid loss of neutrons, problems of corrosion etc.); the refining step is obligatory.

Where is the Baltimore headquarters for American Sugar Refining?
The Baltimore headquarters for American Sugar Refining is located at 1000 East Fayette Street, Baltimore, Maryland. This facility is part of the company's extensive operations in sugar refining and distribution across the United States. The location plays a key role in their logistics and supply chain for sugar products.
Why do you refine uranium?
Uranium is refined to increase the concentration of the fissile isotope U-235 for use in nuclear fuel and weapons. The refining process, which includes enrichment, enhances the material's efficiency in nuclear reactions, enabling power generation in reactors or the creation of nuclear warheads. Additionally, refining helps remove impurities, ensuring the uranium meets the necessary quality and safety standards for its intended applications.
