Molecular Laser Isotope Separation versus Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation

摘要

In this work, the competitive molecular and atomic laser isotope separation methods are investigated to evaluate the potential of each one for more economical fuel fabrication of enriched uranium cells which can be practically used in light water reactors (LWR). The advantages, drawbacks and feasibility of various techniques of laser isotope separation including AVLIS and the main MLIS methods such as MOLIS, CRISLA, and SILARC techniques have been reviewed.
