Uranium, a voluptuous element with really big atoms, is perfect for atom splitting because her strong force, though powerful, is relatively weak compared to other elements. Nuclear reactors use a particular isotope, lovely Uranium-235. The much-in-demand Uranium-235 doesn't appear often in a state of Nature; the ore from Uranium mines only contains about 0.7 percent U-235. That's why reactors make use of statuesque enriched Uranium, created by separating and concentrating the elusive element through a gas diffusion process. But you don't want to be around when she "goes off," no sir.
Better be safe at home listening to the Ask Dr. Hal! Show on Radio Valencia.

nobodyouwantoknow: Dear Doctor Hal -- Greetings and salutations from Germany. My name is Theophrastus von Hohenheim but my friends call me Paracelsus. You are welcome to do the same. I am in desperate need of your knowledge and wisdom. Please be so kind and generous as to tell me, what is the process for the preparation of the Philosophers' Stone ? I used to know this, but I have forgotten because of an unfortunate laboratory accident with mercury that has severely affected my brain. I beg you, somebody help me, please ! Signed, Paracelsus (10:04pm)
