This represents an intermediate step in the processing of uranium ores. Yellowcake concentrates are prepared by various extraction and refining methods, depending on the types of ores. Typically yellowcakes are obtained through the milling and chemical processing of uranium ore forming a coarse powder which is insoluble in water and contains about 80% uranium oxide, and which melts at approximately 2878°C.
Yellowcake is used in the preparation of fuel for nuclear reactors, where it is processed into purified UO2 for use in fuel rods for PHWR and other systems using unenriched uranium. It may also be enriched, by being converted to uranium hexafluoride gas (UF6), by isotope separation though gaseous diffusion or in a gas centrifuge to produce enriched uranium suitable for use in weapons and reactors.
Yellowcake is produced by all countries in which uranium is mined.

I've seen you ask a couple of humorously written questions. . .and I like that . But I think you'd do even better if you just changed your Y/A 'nickname' . It's ok to bash us Conservatives a little if you like, but that nickname turns a lot of people away from your prose .
Either that. . . . or I'll pop for $20 bucks to help pay for your 'cake' .
Correction * - Not your nickname, but your avatar and it's wording !!

I knew a couple of men who ate yellow cake and their deaths was not pleasant. My husband died at 54 and I believe that working in the mine for less than 1 year caused his early death. Yellow cake is found around most of the uranium mines near Moab, Utah. I sincerely hope you are only joking for you seem too intelligent to be considering this harmful act.

Polonium is on sale. Just insult a Russian official.
If you insist, buy from the Congo, Tons of it is on sale there. Russians sells it too, but they only give you a taste. But they do sell the primo stuff. Australia only sells to prefered costumers. You could buy from Nigeria or America, but you have to wait in line and fill out an order sheet.
