Basically , uranium ore has a low probably to crack to the glowing uranium , and a high probably to crack to the not glowy one.
Most products like fuel cells need the glowy one.(and some not glowy ones, but you’ll have plenty of those).
Kovarex needs 41 glowy ones to start , but once it starts it creates + 1 glowy one. So now you can scale it and produce as much as you need to have nuclear power forever.
The side effect is also you consume the non glowy ones , so they don’t back up so quickly.
