Uranium is an element which occurs naturally. It can have nuclear-related uses once it has been refined, or enriched. This is achieved by the use of centrifuges - Machines which spin at supersonic speeds.
Low-enriched uranium can be used to produce fuel for commercial Nuclear Power plants.
Highly enriched uranium has a purity of 20% or More and is used in research reactors. Weapons-grade uranium is 90% enriched or More .
