Uranium hexafluoride (UF₆) is a highly reactive, crystalline compound used primarily in the nuclear fuel cycle for uranium enrichment. At room temperature, it exists as a solid, but when heated it converts to gas, making it suitable for isotope separation processes such as gas diffusion and gas centrifugation. UF₆ is produced by the reaction of uranium oxide with fluorine or hydrogen fluoride...
