Gaseous diffusion plants have been in operation for more than 40 yr. Recognizing that these plants have a finite life, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in the early 1970s began investing in advanced technologies to determine which technology would be best suited to replace these plants. The two technologies pursued by the DOE were atomic vapor laser isotope separation (AVLIS) and gas centrifuge. In 1984, the DOE determined that it was in its best interest to stop work on centrifuge technology and to continue AVLIS research. In excess of $1 billion has been sent to further the AVLIS technology.
