AbstractThe high cost of isotope separation has limited the use of separated isotopes in nuclear reactors to those situations where no substitutes are available. Whereas isotopic separation processes vary according to the properties of the specific element, these methods are all energy-intensive. Isotopes utilized range from the heavy uranium-235 to the lighter deuterium, tritium, boron-10, and lithium-7. Separation procedures for each of these isotopes are described. | |||||
