Characteristics of Barriers Suitable for Isotopic Separation by Gaseous Diffusion; CARACTERISTIQUES DES BARRIERES UTILISABLES POUR LA SEPARATION ISOTOPIQUE PAR DIFFUSION GAZEUSE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4278192
The characteristics of barriers suitable for isotopic separation by gaseous diffusion are described mathematically. It is shown how the results given by the experimental methods on structure control of barriers (A/Conf.15/P/ 1265) can lead to a representation of barriers and will permit the elimination of non-usable industrial barriers by detecting too numerous large pores or microfissures and the existence of leaks at the joints. The discussion is limited to the use of information given by the specific permeability and the separation efficiency. Some examples of routine measurements are given to show how imperfect barriers are detected. (J.S.R.)
