Meanings
-
(uncountable) Uranium enriched with a higher than normal amount of the fissile isotope U-235; used in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
The US supply of enriched uranium to Europe is expected to reach a saturation point in 1981 – and by that time the centrifuge should be able to deliver the goods to a Europe very poor in energy supply and very dependent on Middle East oil.
