Enrichment of stable iostopes by electromagnetic isotope separation and plasma separation
- Oak Ridge National Lab., TN (United States)
Enriched stable isotopes for use in research, medicine, and industrial applications have been provided by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for almost fifty years. The enrichment method employed is the Electromagnetic Isotope Separation (EMIS) process. Recent reviews of alternative separation processes have indicated that the Plasma Separation Process (PSP) is best suited to complement the current EMIS process. The PSP is based on the ion cyclotron resonance of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field. This process, along with an overview of the EMIS process and their complementary use will be described. Use of the Proof of Principle, M2B, and the Production Prototype Module (PPM) devices will augment the current process to provide better enriched products for the user.
