By the end of the three years in 1939 Urey and his partners had created several methods for separating the more uncommon isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen. This allowed the isotopes to be used in laboratory research. After this Urey wrote several papers on his methods of the separation of isotopes. Then at the start of World War II Urey was asked to assist the U.S government’s program to separate the uranium isotope^235 from the isotope of uranium^238 which is more abundant than the uranium isotope^235. This would be used in the atomic
