Question

outline the process of separation of the isotope of uranium that is required as fuel in a nuclear reactor​

Answer 1

Commercially, the U235 isotope is enriched to 3 to 5% (from the natural state of 0.7%) and is then further processed to create nuclear fuel. At the conversion plant, uranium oxide is converted to the chemical form of uranium hexafluoride (UF6) to be usable in an enrichment facility.
