Obtaining Highly Concentrated Molybdenum Isotopes According to a Multistage Scheme in a Cascade of Gas Centrifuges

Consideration has been given to the distinctive features of multistep concentration of all the molybdenum isotopes in a cascade with a varying type of stages as far as the number of gas centrifuges is concerned. A computational experiment on separation of molybdenum hexafluoride was conducted. A pro...

Description
Summary:Consideration has been given to the distinctive features of multistep concentration of all the molybdenum isotopes in a cascade with a varying type of stages as far as the number of gas centrifuges is concerned. A computational experiment on separation of molybdenum hexafluoride was conducted. A procedure of calculation from the cuts of partial flows of the stages was used which takes account of the dependence of the separation factors of gas centrifuges on their feed flow and the flow-division coefficient. It has been shown that the high efficiency of separation processes is attained with a large number of stages and gas centrifuges and small feed flows of the cascade.
