Uranium tetrafluoride (UF₄) is a chemical compound consisting of uranium and fluorine. It is a bright yellow solid at room temperature and is used primarily in the nuclear fuel cycle. UF₄ is produced during the conversion of uranium ore into usable fuel for nuclear reactors. In the nuclear fuel cycle, uranium is typically first converted to uranium hexafluoride (UF₆), which is a gas at higher temperatures and is suitable for enrichment processes.
