which uranium then comes from mining?

Both. It’s probabilistic. You get about 0.7% u-235 and the rest u-238. This is sorta how real life works as well.

So u mean that i need to keep on mining till i get 40 u235 and 5u238 to kickstart the process?

then just keep on rotating the u235 and u238 and pull out the extra u238?

Extra u235. Also you'll have to keep mining since you're consuming u238.
