Uranium enrichment by the separation-nozzle process

摘要

The development of reliable manufacturing methods for commercial separation elements, the successful operation of separative stages, and extensive tests performed on plant components and auxiliary systems provide the basis for the construction of a separation-nozzle demonstration plant. The performance level achieved to date characterizes the process as reliable and economically feasible. In particular, it is generally ally accepted that comparatively low investment and maintenance costs are to be expected for the separation-nozzle process.
