La recherche &#039;&#039;&#039;Traitement de l&#039;Uranium&#039;&#039;&#039; donne une utilité au [[uranium ore/fr|minerai d&#039;uranium]] en débloquant la possiblité de fabriquer et d&#039;utiliser des [[centrifuge/fr|centrifuge]]s et le [[Kovarex enrichment process/fr|processus d&#039;enrichissement Kovarex]]. Cette [[research/fr|recherche]] donne ainsi accès à la recherche de l&#039;[[Nuclear Power (research)/fr|énergie nucléaire]].&lt;br /&gt;

{{:Infobox:Kovarex enrichment process}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Le &#039;&#039;&#039;processus d&#039;enrichissement de Kovarex&#039;&#039;&#039; est une méthode pour retraiter l&#039;uranium dans une [[centrifuge/fr|centrifuge]]. Bien que le processus nécessite une grande quantité d&#039;[[uranium-235/fr|uranium-235]] pour fonctionner, il peut être une bonne solution pour mieux utiliser le [[uranium ore/fr|minerai d&#039;uranium]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Objectif ==&lt;br /&gt;
Le [[Uranium processing/fr|Traitement d&#039;uranium]] utilise 10 minerais d&#039;uranium pour produire soit 1 uranium-235 avec une probabilité de 0.7% soit un [[uranium-238/fr|uranium-238]] avec une probabilité de 99.3%, on peut donc espérer obtenir 1 uranium 235 pour 143 uranium-238 produits. C&#039;est, pour le moment, la seule recette du jeu basée sur des probabilités.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
L&#039;uranium-235 est nécessaire pour fabriquer des [[uranium fuel cell/fr|capsules de carburant en  uranium]] et des [[atomic bomb/fr|bombes atomiques]], but the probability distribution of uranium processing leads to it being produced slowly and creating large stockpiles of U-238 as a byproduct. The Kovarex process thus provides the player with a considerably faster (and deterministic) method of producing U-235, as well as a use for the surplus U-238.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that U-238 is not useless; it is necessary (and sufficient) to manufacture [[uranium rounds magazine]]s, [[uranium cannon shell]]s, and [[explosive uranium cannon shell]]s, and is required as a secondary ingredient in uranium fuel cells. Therefore, it is not advisable to use the Kovarex process to convert &#039;&#039;all&#039;&#039; stockpiled U-238 into U-235. (Although, in case of shortage, [[Used up uranium fuel cell]]s can be [[Nuclear fuel reprocessing|reprocessed]] into a modest amount of U-238.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Kovarex enrichment process is named after [https://www.factorio.com/game/about Michal Kovařík], lead designer of Factorio and co-owner of Wube, whose online nick is &#039;&#039;kovarex&#039;&#039; (which he usually spells lowercase). [https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/67bj3p/015_kovarex_uranium_enrichment_is_too_good_with/dgq2ij3/?context=1]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, [[:Wikipedia:Uranium-235|uranium-235]] is the most common fissile isotope of uranium and makes up approximately 0.72% of naturally-occurring uranium, with the other 99.28% being [[:Wikipedia:Uranium-238|uranium-238]]. The in-game representation is thus highly accurate in this regard. Uranium is commonly [[:Wikipedia:Enriched_uranium|enriched]] in centrifuges to increase the percentage of &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;235&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;U for use in fission reactions.&lt;br /&gt;
* Uranium munitions are made from [[:Wikipedia:depleted uranium|depleted uranium]], a byproduct of uranium enrichment, which is mostly &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;238&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;U whose natural admixture of the &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;235&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;U isotope has been lowered even further through the enrichment process. Depleted uranium is minimally radioactive and the reason for its use in munitions is its very high density and other mechanical properties, not radioactivity/toxicity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
