The 22 pages that link to Uranium-235, each with the reason it gives.

• IsotopeBroader topic: Its ability to sustain fission makes it central to nuclear energy and weapons.

• Nuclear reactorBroader topic: It is a common fuel isotope in thermal fission reactors.

• Atomic nucleusBroader topic: Its large nucleus makes neutron-induced splitting possible in reactors and weapons.

• Uranium-238Compared with: Comparing its shorter half-life with uranium-238 helps explain their changing natural proportions.

• PlutoniumCompared with: It is the other principal fissile material compared with plutonium-239.

• UraniumBroader topic: Its fission sustains the chain reactions used in most uranium-fueled reactors.

• Nuclear chain reactionBroader topic: It is a common fuel capable of sustaining a fission chain reaction.

• Enrichment of uraniumBroader topic: Enrichment raises this isotope’s proportion in the uranium product.

• Nuclear fuelBroader topic: It is the principal fissile isotope in most commercial uranium fuel.

• ThoriumCompared with: Unlike thorium-232, it can sustain fission without breeding another fissile isotope first.

• Spent nuclear fuelRelated: Some uranium-235 remains in fuel after reactor operation.

• Uranium hexafluorideRelated: Its UF₆ molecules are slightly lighter than those containing uranium-238.

• Thorium fuel cycleCompared with: Unlike thorium-232, it can sustain fission without first being converted into another isotope.

• Chicago Pile-1Broader topic: Uranium-235 was the principal fissile material in the pile’s natural-uranium fuel.

• Fissile materialBroader topic: It is the principal naturally occurring fissile isotope.

• GeoneutrinoRelated: Its decay chain contributes geoneutrinos alongside uranium-238 and thorium-232.

• Little BoyRelated: This isotope supplied the fissile material in Little Boy's bomb core.

• Depleted uraniumRelated: Its reduced fraction is the defining isotopic difference between depleted and natural uranium.

• Nuclear weapon designBroader topic: It is one of the principal fissile isotopes used in nuclear weapons.

• Uranium dioxideRelated: Its fission supplies much of the heat released by enriched UO₂ fuel.

• Isotopes of uraniumBroader topic: Its neutron-induced fission makes it central to many reactor fuels.

• Primordial nuclideBroader topic: It survives naturally from Earth’s formation, though far less remains than uranium-238.
