Perona, G

The gaseous diffusion process for the enrichment of U/sup 235/ is discussed. The physical principles of the process, the cascades and selection of the pressures, temperatures, and barriers are described. The gaseous diffusion plant is discussed with a consideration of the preliminary calculation of the plant yields the diffusor, operating temperature, layout of the plants control, and cost analysis. The chemical properties of UF/sub 6/, its preparation and purification, and the transformation of UF/sub 6/ to UF/sub 4/ are reviewed. (J.S.R)
