Enriched uranium is a type of uranium that has been processed to increase the concentration of its fissile isotope, uranium-235.
This process is carried out with the aim of using it as fuel in nuclear reactors or in the manufacture of nuclear weapons. Enriched uranium is capable of releasing large amounts of energy when subjected to a controlled nuclear reaction.
Due to its potential for generating energy and its application in nuclear technology, enriched uranium is a strategic resource and its production and use are regulated internationally to ensure safety and control.
