Nuclear Fuel Cycle - Uranium.mp4

The nuclear fuel cycle is the series of industrial processes which involve the production of electricity from uranium in nuclear power reactors.
Uranium is a relatively common element that is found throughout the world. It is mined in a number of countries and must be processed before it can be used as fuel for a nuclear reactor.
Fuel removed from a reactor, after it has reached the end of its useful life, can be reprocessed to produce new fuel.
The various activities associated with the production of electricity from nuclear reactions are referred to collectively as the nuclear fuel cycle. The nuclear fuel cycle starts with the mining of uranium and ends with the disposal of nuclear waste. With the reprocessing of used fuel as an option for nuclear energy, the stages form a true cycle are shown in video

Isn't fuel-grade Uranium only 4% U-235 - not 96% U-235?

Thanx. Just used this in my science presentation. :)
