Enrichment Plant

Utilizes a large set of centrifuges to concentrate uranium-235 isotope out of natural Uranium (a process called isotope separation). The resulting product is fissile Uranium Pellets, ready to undergo a chain reaction in a Nuclear Reactor. The pellets are not radioactive yet and can be handled manually.

The Enrichment Plant is the sole machine which can produce {{infoicon|Enriched Uranium (4%)} for the creation of Uranium Rods and, eventually, nuclear power. It combines Yellowcake from a Settling Tank with Hydrogen Fluoride. It takes 2 Enrichment Plants operating at a 90% duty cycle to feed one Nuclear Reactor continuously.
