Consideration has been given to the features of introducing indices of efficiency of cascades based on separation potentials of a multicomponent isotope mixture. Basic forms of potentials of two types have been presented, the first of which is dependent on just the concentration, and the second, through the inclusion of mass numbers of separation factors, ensures the independence of the separative power of separating elements of concentrations. On the basis of a computational experiment, the authors have selected potentials most adequately determining separation-efficiency indices for cascades that were optimized for the minimum criterion of the overall stream at assigned external concentrations of the target component.
