Summary[edit]

Description
English: Schematic separation nozzle used in aerodynamic uranium enrichment plants. In aerodynamic enrichment processes, a mixture of gaseous UF6 and light gas (hydrogen or helium) is compressed and then passed through separating elements wherein isotopic separation is accomplished by the generation of high centrifugal forces over a curved-wall geometry. Full enrichment plants would have thousands of these tiny structures photoetched in foil and bound together.
Français : Schéma d'un procédé d'enrichissement aérodynamique de l'uranium. Dans la séparation par flux, de l'UF6 gazeux est dilué dans un gaz porteur plus léger (hydrogène ou hélium), puis est mis sous pression et injecté au travers d'un bloc à géométrie incurvée, ce qui génère une importante force centrifuge et permet de séparer l'uranium lourd de l'uranium léger.
