Can they use Uranium 238 instead of Uranium 235?

[–] gandalf_der_13te@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

apparently. "natural uranium" refers to uranium with about 3% U235 content meanwhile the remaining 97% are U238, i think.

edit:

ah i had the numbers somewhat off apparently.
