Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel
Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel is the IC2 intermediate item that fuses 6 Uranium 238 with 3 Tiny Pile of Uranium 235 into the core of a uranium fuel rod.
Description
The only use of Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel is canning: 1 Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel plus 1 empty Fuel Rod in a Canning Machine produces a uranium fuel rod that burns one full reactor cycle of 20,000 seconds and yields 2,000,000 EU at 5 EU per tick from a single rod. Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel is highly radioactive and harms unprotected players, and the IC2 wiki documents no way to decompose the fuel itself — only depleted rods go back through a Thermal Centrifuge. Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel exists in IC2 Experimental on the Java Edition.

How to use Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel in Minecraft
-
1
Crush uranium ore
Macerate Uranium Ore into Crushed Uranium Ore; each crushed ore is one centrifuge batch.
-
2
Centrifuge for U-235
Run Crushed Uranium Ore through a Thermal Centrifuge to receive 1 Tiny Pile of Uranium 235 and 3 Uranium 238 per batch.
-
3
Craft the fuel
On a crafting table place 3 Tiny Pile of Uranium 235 in the middle row and Uranium 238 in the top and bottom rows (6 total) to make 1 Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel.
-
4
Can into a fuel rod
Insert 1 Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel and 1 empty Fuel Rod into a Canning Machine to receive a uranium fuel rod.
-
5
Run the reactor
Place the rod in a Nuclear Reactor: a single rod burns one full cycle of 20,000 seconds and produces 2,000,000 EU at 5 EU per tick.
Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel is highly radioactive — can it into rods promptly instead of carrying unprotected stacks around your base.

Frequently asked questions
What is Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel used for?
Its only use is canning: combined with an empty Fuel Rod in a Canning Machine it produces a uranium fuel rod for the IC2 Nuclear Reactor.
What is the recipe?
A shaped recipe: 3 Tiny Pile of Uranium 235 in the middle row and 6 Uranium 238 across the top and bottom rows yield 1 Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel.
Where does Uranium 235 come from?
From a Thermal Centrifuge: each Crushed Uranium Ore gives 1 Tiny Pile of Uranium 235 plus 3 Uranium 238; purified crushed ore gives 3 tiny piles.
How long does the fuel rod last?
One full reactor cycle — 20,000 seconds — during which a single rod produces 2,000,000 EU at 5 EU per tick.
