For normal light-water recators, first to a refinement plant. For producing depleted uranium porducts, such as shells for tanks, to a production plant.
Examples:Oxides: uranium dioxide, uranium trioxide, uranium octaoxideSalts: ammonium diuranate, uranyl nitrate, uranyl acetate, uranium hehxafluoride, uranium chlorideand many others because uranium is a reactive metal.
The percentage of uranium in uranium dioxide is 88,149.
One of several methods of enriching uranium (increasing the percentage of uranium-235 in the product).Gaseous diffusion uses porous nickel metal membranes as diffusion barriers. Pumps increase the pressure of the uranium hexafluoride gas on one side of the barriers causing the gas to diffuse through. The lighter uranium-235 atoms moving slightly faster than the uranium-238 atoms, becoming a bit more concentrated on the far side.The enriched product on the far side is then sent on to the next stage in the cascade while the depleted product on the near side is sent back to the preceding stage. Then after thousands of these stages, each providing a tiny amount of enrichment, the final product having the desired enrichment is produced (as well as large quantities of depleted waste product).
Uranium is delivered as oxides UO2 and U3O8, ammonium diuranate, uranium hexafluoride, uranium metal, uranium carbide.
Uranium is not magnetic in its natural state. However, certain isotopes of uranium can be paramagnetic under specific conditions.
Nobody throws Uranium out. Some people throw their wives or husbands out. Some people let their exclusive golf-club memberships lapse. The nasty by-products of uranium fission, when they are no longer useful, get sent to a giant pool in Idaho. They don't throw the Uranium out either.

Some examples of uranium compounds are: uranyl nitrate, uranium dioxide, uranium hexafluoride, uranium tetrachloride, triuraniumoctaoxide, uranyl acetate, uranium iodide, uranium nitride, uranium, sulfide, uranium carbide, uranyl sulfate, etc.
The percentage of uranium in uranium dioxide is 88,149.
Uranium is a chemical element with three natural isotopes (234, 235, 238). The natural uranium has cca. 0,72 % uranium-235; uranium with a concentration of uranium-235 under 0,72 % is called depleted uranium; uranium with a concentration of uranium -235 above 0,72 % is called enriched uranium. Uranium in nuclear power and research reactors is used as metal, aloys, uranium dioxide, uranium carbides, uranium silicides, etc.

Cold uranium is unirradiated uranium.
