I'm spooked by the fact that you have no idea how the US enriches uranium, or the difference between a power pressurized water reactor and a fast "breeder" reactor (if you were thinking of plutonium) or a centrifuge.

The US enriches uranium using a gas-centrifuge. The US also no longer recycles spent nuclear fuel, but France does.
