When uranium is mined, it consists of approximately 99.3% uranium-238 (U 238), 0.7% uranium-235 (U 235), and < 0.01% uranium-234 (U 234). These are the different uranium isotopes. ... fuel used in a nuclear reactor needs to have a higher concentration of the U 235 isotope than that which exists in natural uranium ore.

Uranium-238, the most prevalent isotope in uranium ore, has a half-life of about 4.5 billion years; that is, half the atoms in any sample will decay in that amount of time. Uranium-238 decays by alpha emission into thorium-234, which itself decays by beta emission to protactinium-234, which decays by beta emission to uranium-234, and so on.
