Isotope separation is the process of concentrating specific isotopes of a chemical element by removing other isotopes. The use of the nuclides produced...

Laser isotope separation, or laser enrichment, is a technology of isotope separation using selective ionization of atoms or molecules by the means of precisely...

increased through the process of isotope separation. Naturally occurring uranium is composed of three major isotopes: uranium-238 (238U with 99.2739–99...

Atomic vapor laser isotope separation, or AVLIS, is a method by which specially tuned lasers are used to separate isotopes of uranium using selective...

became the preferred method of uranium isotope separation, being far more economical. Electromagnetic isotope separation was developed at the University of...

reactor) development, uranium and heavy water production, and uranium isotope separation. Eventually, the German military determined that nuclear fission would...

theoretical separation efficiency of this method is about 8.0 percent. A multistage process may be used to obtain higher degrees of separation. The isotopes of...

water isotopes (18O and 2H) become enriched in the liquid phase while the lighter isotopes (16O and 1H) tend toward the vapor phase. Isotope separation Carol...

Separation of isotopes by laser excitation (SILEX) is a process under development to enrich uranium on an industrial scale for nuclear reactors. It is...

Isotopes are distinct nuclear species (or nuclides) of the same chemical element. They have the same atomic number (number of protons in their nuclei)...
