Current Trends in Laser Separation of Isotopes in Monatomic Vapors

Journal of Russian Laser Research Aims and scope

Abstract

A comparative analysis of the techniques of laser isotope separation in monatomic vapors is presented. The restraints inherent in the conventional isotope separation technique AVLIS (atomic vapor laser isotope separation) are discussed as applied to the large-scale production of various isotopes. The requirements that should be met by the chemical reactions are formulated for the use of these reactions in isotope separation. The photochemical technique was shown to be quite competitive with the AVLIS.
