Where do you buy fuel grade uranium in order to run your own reactor?
I'm asking for a friend.
I know it's a joke, but just wanted to say that Uranium used for fuel is not something you can actually use for weaponry directly. It requires enrichment to increase the concentration of U-235 to weapons-grade levels.
