Nuclear Fusion.

Having low atomic nuclei is the reason why uranium-235 is not commonly found in large nuclear reactions.

So, scientist increases its concentration by fusing the lower atomic nuclei with high atomic nuclei in order to produce a heavier nucleus which will increase the release of energy.
