Uranium can be obtained by mining Uranium Ore. It can be crushed, washed and centrifuged to create Uranium-235 and Uranium-238, which can be further used in nuclear engineering.
Processing[edit]
Uranium-235[edit]
Uranium-235 is the more useful part of Uranium ore, however, it only accounts for 2.7-4.25% of natural Minecraftian Uranium (in real life, only about 0.72%). This is the part which sustains the fission chain reaction. Uranium-235, in sufficient quantity, can sustain fission even when being enriched with the common and non-fissile Uranium-238. The result is an even more useful beta-decayed Uranium-238, also known as Plutonium-239.

Uranium-238[edit]
Uranium-238 is the most common isotope of Uranium. Uranium-238 alone cannot sustain a nuclear fission chain reaction, which is why it is enriched with Uranium-235.
Usage[edit]
Enrichment[edit]
To enrich uranium, you need only craft it as so:
