Uranium containing less than the natural abundance of the isotope uranium-235. (Natural uranium contains about 0.7% U-235.)

Nuclear material that can be converted to fissile material through the capture of a neutron. An example of a fertile material is uranium-238.

Fissile materials are capable of undergoing nuclear fission (splitting of the nucleus of an atom) by slow neutrons. Examples of fissile materials are uranium 235 and plutonium 239.

Uranium containing less than 20% of the isotope uranium-235 but more than that which occurs in natural uranium. (Natural uranium contains about 0.7% U-235.)
