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

Chemical Plant

Inputs	Recipe
Recipe: Uranium Hexafluoride Duration: 5.0 seconds Consumption: 500HE/t Inputs: Water, Yellowcake, Fluorite Outputs: Uranium Hexafluoride, Sulfur	1,000mB 4 1,200mB 2

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.
