Good picture. A long time ago, uranium pigment was used to the yellow lane divider stripes on highway in some western states. It's the right color. Many to the CANDU type reactors use natural, not enriched uranium. The there's a more modern CANDU design which uses low enriched uranium. Both these use an oxide form of Uranium. The British MAGNOX designs use natural uranium in the form of uranium metal. The enrichment process is expensive and capital intensive. One concern I have is that enrichment will become the major bottleneck, and the enrichment companies will get most of the value instead of the miners. Sort of like the pipeline companies in Wyoming made tons of money because there was 2 times as much natural gas than there was pipeline capacity to move the gas, and Chicago City Gate prices were $6.00 and Wyoming prices were $2.20, with all the difference going to the pipeline guys.
