Difference between Centrifuge and Enriched uranium

Centrifuge vs. Enriched uranium

A centrifuge is a piece of equipment that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis (spins it in a circle), applying a force perpendicular to the axis of spin (outward) that can be very strong. Enriched uranium is a type of uranium in which the percent composition of uranium-235 has been increased through the process of isotope separation.

Similarities between Centrifuge and Enriched uranium

Centrifuge and Enriched uranium have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Fissile material, Gas centrifuge, Isotope, Isotope separation, Nuclear power, Nuclear weapon, Uranium hexafluoride, Uranium-235, Uranium-238, Weapons-grade nuclear material, Zippe-type centrifuge.

Fissile material

In nuclear engineering, fissile material is material capable of sustaining a nuclear fission chain reaction.

Isotope separation

Isotope separation is the process of concentrating specific isotopes of a chemical element by removing other isotopes.

Nuclear power

Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant.

Nuclear weapon

A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission (fission bomb) or from a combination of fission and fusion reactions (thermonuclear bomb).

Uranium hexafluoride

Uranium hexafluoride, referred to as "hex" in the nuclear industry, is a compound used in the uranium enrichment process that produces fuel for nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.

Uranium-235

Uranium-235 (235U) is an isotope of uranium making up about 0.72% of natural uranium.

Uranium-238

Uranium-238 (238U or U-238) is the most common isotope of uranium found in nature, with a relative abundance of 99%.

Weapons-grade nuclear material

Weapons-grade nuclear material is any fissionable nuclear material that is pure enough to be used to make a nuclear weapon or has properties that make it particularly suitable for nuclear weapons use.

Zippe-type centrifuge

The Zippe-type centrifuge is a gas centrifuge designed to enrich the rare fissile uranium isotope Uranium-235 out of the mixture of isotopes found in naturally occurring uranium compounds.
