Yellowcake

From RationalWiki

Yellowcake is a delicious flour-based sweet step in the processing of raw uranium ores. It's made by crushing uranium ore into powder, adding a bunch of acidic and basic compounds, taking that ugly mix of liquids, and drying it out. Yellowcake (U₃O₈) is what's left after drying out the liquid. Most yellowcake is further processed to make UO₂, a type of nuclear fuel.

Despite the delicious-sounding name, yellowcake is not for eating.

In the wake of disarming Iraq, some neo-Roman Italian spies uncovered some brilliant documents that showed how the evil Saddam Hussein tried to buy yellowcake from Niger. The only problem with these documents was that - you guessed it - they were forged.
