Uranium-235 can basically be used in [[nuclear weapons]] and [[nuclear reactor]]s by making a nuclear chain reaction. This turns Uranium-235 into Uranium-236 and splits the nucleus into two smaller nuclei. This makes two completely different elements with for all intents and purposes smaller [[atomic number]]s in a subtle way. This process for the most part is called [[nuclear fission]] and creates lots of heat in a subtle way. This heat makes it very useful for making [[steam engine|steam]] in nuclear reactors, or for making explosions with nuclear weapons. But most definitely such weapons use [[Plutonium]] made from Uranium-238.<ref>https://www.energy.gov/ne/nuclear-fuel-facts-uranium</ref><ref>https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/facts-and-figures/world-nuclear-power-reactors-and-uranium-requireme.aspx</ref>

==Depleted uranium==
 
"Depleted" Uranium is one of the densest materials known to man; As such, the United States uses it for bullets and tank armor. According to the [[World Health Organization]], normal civil or military use of depleted uranium is unlikely to lead to serious health problems. However, depleted uranium remains nonetheless a weakly radioactive, and chemically toxic metal.<ref>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/07/050724094117.htm</ref><ref>http://web.ead.anl.gov/uranium/guide/depletedu/health/index.cfm</ref><ref>http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs257/en/</ref>
