YellowcakeWikipedia
Yellowcake also called urania is a type of uranium concentrate powder obtained from leach solutions in an intermediate step in the processing of uranium ores is a step in the processing of uranium after it has been mined but before fuel fabrication or uranium enrichment.Yellowcake concentrates are prepared by various extraction and refining methods depending on the types of ores.
