Uranium is mostly out of elements other than uranium, is is refined into yellow cake, which is mostly uranium oxide. Yellow can then be purified and used in some reactor types or be enriched. Enrichment is basically separating the U235 for use in other reactors or bombs. Those reactors can also output plutonium for more effective bombs.
U238 is effective in ammo due to its mass but it irradiates soldiers and contaminates the battlefield.
