A natural uranium concentrate that takes its name from its color and texture. Yellowcake typically contains 70 to 90 percent U3O8 (uranium oxide) by weight. It is used as feedstock for uranium fuel [..]

oxide of uranium, 1950, from yellow (adj.) + cake (n.).

The solid form of mixed uranium oxide, which is produced from uranium ore in the uranium recovery (milling) process. The material is a mixture of uranium oxides, which can vary in proportion and color from yellow to orange to dark green (blackish) depending on the temperature at which the material is dried (which affects the level of hydration and [..]

A yellow powder that is mostly uranium. Yellowcake is produced by pouring crushed uranium ore into an acid which dissolves the uranium. The acid is drained from the crushed ore and dried, leaving a ye [..]

The concentrate of 70 to 90 percent uranium oxide extracted from crushed ore. yolk plug

The mixture of uranium oxides produced after milling uranium ore from a mine. It is usually represented by the formula U3O8. If dried at low temperature it is yellow, if at higher temperature it is light brown. Uranium is exported from Australia in this form. Also referred to as Uranium Ore Concentrate (UOC).

(n) an impure mixture of uranium oxides obtained during the processing of uranium ore

Intermediate step in the fabrication of nuclear fuel from uranium ore. It is the final product of ore processing before it is shipped, purified and enriched with U-235. It is of a coarse powder compos [..]

Concentrated uranium oxide obtained through the milling of uranium ore in the form of a yellow powder. It is the raw material for making nuclear fuel. ZEBRA
