Nuclear Fission U-235 is the only fissable isotope of uranium 0.71 % of uranium is U % of uranium is U-238
Nuclear Fission Chain reaction can occur only when it reaches critical mass The percentage of U-235 in uranium is too low to form a chain reaction
Nuclear Fission To create a chain reaction, the U-235 % must be increased (enriched) greatly Ultra-centrifugation
Nuclear Fission To run a power plant, the U-235 needs to be enriched to ~ 2% To make a bomb, the U-235 needs to be enriched to > 70%
