Uranium enrichment is the artificial process of increasing the proportion of uranium-235 (U-235), the isotope found in natural uranium that enables energy production in nuclear reactors. This process is carried out to produce fuel for nuclear reactors or to obtain material for nuclear weapons. Natural uranium consists primarily of two different types (isotopes) of uranium: Uranium-238 (U-238): Makes up approximately 99.3 percent of natural uranium. This isotope cannot be used directly for energy
