Pro Tip 1/3Lab Equipment
A centrifuge is commonly found in scientific settings for experiments or testing.
The biology lab is equipped with a centrifuge for cell studies.
Pro Tip 2/3Physical Process
Centrifugation uses centrifugal force, a spinning motion that pushes materials outward.
The centrifuge rapidly spins, causing the denser particles to settle at the bottom.
Pro Tip 3/3Material Separation
Centrifuging can purify mixtures like separating cream from milk or cells from blood.
To extract plasma, the technician put the vial in the centrifuge.

Methods like centrifuge processing must be carefully regulated to limit the spread of bomb-grade fuel. Remember, only a fraction of the released fission energy goes into speeding up neutrons.

Iran doesn't need one centrifuge. Canada has nuclear energy. Spain has nuclear energy. Switzerland has nuclear energy, and they don't enrich uranium. You don't need to enrich uranium in order to use nuclear energy. You enrich uranium in order to produce a bomb.

Small samples in the centrifuge will spin at varying rates to create synthetic gravity, like the gravity of Mars or the gravity of the moon, and measure how the specimens respond within the centrifuge.
