GAS CENTRIFUGE FOR THE PURPOSE OF ISOTOPE ENRICHMENT
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4821442
In a cylindrical vessel of short axial length, a magnetic field is applied parallel to the axis and an arc discharge is maintained between the cylindrical wall and central electrodes near the end planes of the cylinder. If the pressure of the gas in the vessel is such that the collision frequency of the ions is more than twice the rotation frequency of the ions in the magnetic field, and the radius of the vessel is larger than the radius of the rotation circle of an ion, a rotation of gas will take place in the vessel. This causes isotope enrichment at the center and at the periphery of the vessel. (NPO)
