The Kovarex enrichment process is a method for reprocessing uranium in a centrifuge. Although the process requires a large amount of (much rarer) Uranium-235 to start, it can be a good way to get more use out of the available uranium ore.

It is highly recommended to avoid consuming nuclear fuel until the Kovarex process has been initiated. Once it is active, the abundance of U238 can be converted to U235 to ensure a steady supply of fuel rods. Automating this process requires a bit of thought because the output materials are also the input materials.

Trivia

• The Kovarex enrichment process is named after Michal Kovařík, lead designer of Factorio and co-owner of Wube, whose online nick is kovarex (which he usually spells lowercase).
