Plutonium Hexafluoride () is a corrosive and radioactive gas which serves as the intermediary step in plutonium enrichment. Unlike uranium, it requires no additional processing to turn it into a hexafluoride. It is stored in a specialized tank and must be processed in a gas centrifuge or laser isotope separation chamber (which will skip a step in enrichment).

Uses
It must be processed in a gas centrifuge for enrichment in order to separate the Pu-238 and reactor grade plutonium, while the SILEX can also separate the RGP into Pu-239 and Pu-240.
