The main risk inside the storage facility is the chemical toxicity of uranium hexafluoride gas and fluoride compounds ...

That's because of the two main uranium isotopes, only uranium-235 can support a fission chain reaction : one neutron causes an atom to fission, which produces energy and some more neutrons ...

For nuclear power reactors or weapons, we need to change the isotope proportions. That’s because of the two main uranium isotopes, onlyuranium-235 can support a fission chain reaction: one ...
