I know it's not that relevant, but isn't hydrofluoric acid a different and much more reactive acid than hydrochloric acid?

It's reactive enough to bond with uranium and make a gas for enrichment. Crazy stuff.

wait that says hydrofluoric acid that seems way worse???

i think my brain just kinda autocorrected it to HCl because it scares me to think that there's someone out there who a) has access to HF and b) is dumb enough to put it in their ass
