Clarke, D J

The adoption by de la Garza of a matched abundance ratio (matched R) as a mixing criterion in a three-component separation cascade is discussed. It is pointed out that there may be some operation conditions for a real cascade for which the separative power of a matched R cascade would be very different from that of the minimum power cascade. These conditions are associated with small U/ sup 238/ concentrations, and an example is given in which a matched R casFade would lead to practically no separation of U/sup 235/ and U/sup 236/.
