Yellowcake is a type of uranium concentrate powder that is produced from the processing of uranium ore. It is usually a yellowish, powdery substance, hence its name. Yellowcake typically contains about 70-90% uranium oxide (U3O8) along with various impurities. The primary use of yellowcake is as an intermediate step in the production of nuclear fuel.
