After mining and crushing the (uranium) ore, i think the uranium is dissolved with acid and spun in centrifuges to separate the heavy (more fissible) uranium-235 atoms from the lighter (less fissible) uranium-233 atoms.

Highly radioactive material makes for faster chain reactions and more power, and is very dangerous.
