BS>A small automatic isotope separation cascade was constructed and operated to evaluate the use of the HNO/sub 3/-NO chemical exchange reaction as a method of separating nitrogen-15 on a large-scale basis. Successful operation of the cascade over a long period of time demonstrated the technical feasibility of the chemical process and the cascade design. The most sensitive technical scale- up problem was found to be the desiga of the nitric acid refluxers. The most important economic factor was the favorable disposition of large quantities of by- product sulfuric acid. (auth)
