Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gaseous centrifugation is a method used for separating isotopes of uranium, in which a gas of uranium compounds is fed into a rapidly rotating cylinder. The heavier isotope, uranium-238, tends to move towards the outer side of the cylinder while the lighter isotope, uranium-235, is concentrated towards the center. This allows for the enrichment of uranium-235 for use as a nuclear fuel.
