Uranium must be purified before it is used as a fuel source
Explanation:
The purer the uranium sample, the more the concentration of uranium in the fuel is.
Whenever uranium is extracted from nature, it contains a lot of impurities. Only a few special nuclear reactors can utilize uranium in this raw state. most of the others have to get uranium to become about 3% pure before they begin using it.
To do this, uranium has to be passed through a series of chemical reactions all with the aim of extracting the other compounds that may be present in the fuel.
