I enrich uranium through bioaccumulation.

AARRRRG, that one hurt.
Enriching is about isotopes of the same element.
You know elements? The things that have the same chemical property?
The whole challenge of enrichment is that you want to separate atoms by mass alone, and the difference is <2%. Nobody would build many expensive centrifuges if there was another way.
