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.
Production
Uranium-235 can be produced in a cascade of 4 gas centrifuges with Uranium Hexafluoride, which will yield 11 nuggets of Uranium-238, 4 Fluorite and 1 nugget of Uranium-235 per 10 operations, keep in mind that the last gas centrifuge must have the Gas Centrifuge Overclocking Update. U-235 can also be produced in a SILEX with Uranium Powder or depleted uranium fuel. Desert Atoms also have loot containing U-235.
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. This can be used to produce the Radio Isotope Cell to produce infinite power.
- It can be used in the Custom Nuke. It contributes a nice 15 to its nuclear stage.
