to be used in the gaseous diffusion process. Fortunately, fluorine consists of only a single isotope ¹⁹F, so that the 1% difference in molecular weights between ²³⁵UF₆ and ²³⁸UF₆ is due only to the difference in weights of the uranium isotopes. For these reasons, UF₆ is the only choice as a feedstock for the gaseous diffusion process. UF₆, a solid at room temperature, sublimes
