Uranium Hexafluoride (${\ce {UF6}}$) is a corrosive radioactive gas, and is the final step in uranium enrichment. It is stored in a specialized tank and must be processed with a gas centrifuge.

Production

It is produced in a chemical plant by using 1,000 mB of water, 1 yellowcake, and 4 fluorite.

Uses

It must be processed with a gas centrifuge to enrich it to separate the majority U-238 from the small amount of U-235.

In cells, it is used to make the Pulsating Crystal.
