Uranium-235 is a "rare" uranium isotope. As rare things also happen to be the useful ones, U-235 does have its uses over U-238. It is quite infamous for being used in Little Boy and other nuclear fission weapons. Despite this, it is also useful in uranium fuel.

Uses

  • Yes, U-235 can be used in nuclear warheads, specifically the "gun" type bombs.
  • It can also be used in uranium reactor fuel.
  • If you have no need for U-235, you can breed it into Np-237 and breed that again to get Pu-238.
  • It can be used in the Custom Nuke. It contributes a nice 15 to its nuclear stage.
