To make bombs.

FYI - U235, the isotope needed for a bomb appears in .72% of Uranium atoms which are normally U238.

Takes a lot to get a little. So one ton gets you 14 lbs.

The Hiroshima, Little Boy bomb had 140 lbs of U235 in it giving a blast yield of 15 Kilo tons of TNT.

So that is 10 tons of Uranium.
