The DOE IP is currently producing Yb-176 using modern electromagnetic isotope separation technology and is constructing the Stable Isotope Production and Research Center (SIPRC) to further increase production capacity of Yb-176 and other enriched stable isotopes that are in short supply.
Electric and magnetic fields are more easily controlled than gravitational fields or "pseudogravitational" fields (i.e., centrifugal-force fields) and are very effective in separating ions of differing masses. ... The six methods of isotope separation we have described so far (diffusion, distillation, centrifugation, thermal diffusion, exchange ...
In November 1942, the S-1 Committee decided to support full-scale programs using the electromagnetic and gaseous diffusion methods of isotope separation. Electromagnetic separation is based on the principle that when charged particles, such as uranium nuclei, are accelerated through a magnetic field, their trajectories are shaped by this field.
The electromagnetic isotope separator is widely used for high purity isotopes separation since 1940's due to the advantages of extremely high separation efficiency (Tracy and , 1993; Chauvin et al., 2004a; Abramychev et al., 1992), especially for the separation of the heavy elements, therefore with the increasing …
Laser Separation of Isotopes The isotopes of an element, ordinarily indistinguishable, can be sorted out in the monochromatic light of a laser. The process may ... or other electromagnetic radiation. It is only a matter of convenience whether the radiation is regarded as a stream of
Electromagnetic isotope separation (EMIS) has near-perfect selectivity, but the production rate is extremely low and the cost is prohibitively high, making it only suitable for isotopes with a milligram–to–gram per year demand. Chemical methods use the isotope effects in the Gibbs free energy ...
Electromagnetic isotope separation at the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) is described. Calutron, Nier-Bernas and Freeman ion sources were constructed for ion implantation systems. It was ...

The atomic vapor laser isotope separation (AVLIS) method, shown conceptually in Fig. 6, produces uranium vapor, injects laser energy at the precise frequency to ionize only the 235 U atoms, and separates the 235 U ions from the 238 U atoms with an electromagnetic field. Research and development efforts on this method are top priority in the United …
Isotope - Separation, Enrichment, Radioactive: Most elements are found as mixtures of several isotopes. For certain applications in industry, medicine, and science, samples enriched in one particular isotope are needed. Many methods have therefore been developed to separate the isotopes of an element from one another. Each method is …
Isotope separation by electromagnetic methods is illustrated in this paper. A description is given of various types of current sources, extraction systems, aberration causes, spatial charge neutralization processes, ion flow fluctuation effect, and isotope receivers. The paper ends with a brief mention of the utilization and application of ...
In November 1942, electromagnetic separation was one of the two methods—along with gaseous diffusion— chosen by the S-1 Committee for the uranium enrichment process.
Electromagnetic method is one of most important methods of isotope separation. From the early 1960's to the mid 1980's, four electromagnetic isotope separators have been developed and constructed at the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE). For almost 25 years, CIAE has been separating more than 100 kinds of …
The electromagnetic isotope separation (EMIS) process is based on the principle of a simple mass spectrometer, which states that a charged particle will follow a circular path when passing through a uniform magnetic field. Thus, uranium tetrachloride chloride ions containing U-235 and those containing U-238 with the same charge and …
Introduction Electromagnetic isotope separation at China Insti- tute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) started in 1962. Since then, several types of electromagnetic isotope separa- tors, such as a small 90separator, a medium-sized 255separator, and a 180production isotope separa- tor, have been designed and constructed in our labora- …
– The mixture of isotopes is rotated in a high-speed centrifuge. – The heavier isotope is concentrated at the periphery. – The separation depends essentially on the molecular mass and not its square root, causing better separation. – The gaseous fluorides of U-235 and U-238 have been separated by this method. (5) Electromagnetic …
In order to excite the other isotope, a different resonant frequency is required which depends on the plasma density, the relative concentration of electrons if the plasma contains electrons, the strength of the magnetic field, the ratio of charge to mass of the isotope, and possibly on the physical parameters of the plasma apparatus itself ...
These factors work against electromagnetic separation for large-scale isotope production, although the method is well suited for preparing small quantities (milligram to gram) of …
constant and consistently produced desired results. It was known as the Stable Isotope Program and was managed by the Electromagnetic Separation of Isotopes Department of the Isotopes Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The primary location for the effort was Building 9731, the first building completed at Y-12 and where the

Later, in a discussion of this report with A. M. Weinberg, J. Koch, himself a pioneer in electromagnetic isotope separation and member of the Danish Atomic Energy Program, said he would correct the statement that the Oak Ridge electromagnetic facility is a "national asset" to read "international asset." From my narrow viewpoint after an ...
We report here the experimental realization of a general and efficient method for isotope separation that presents a viable alternative to the calutron.
An individual separative unit in an isotope separation plant might be a sin- gle plate in a distillation or chemical exchange column, a single gas centrifuge, a laser or …

Although the space charge compensation (SCC) factor in electromagnetic separator could be as high as nearly in ideal estimation (Smith et al., 1947), in the realistic operation the beam space charge effect still could not be neglected and the width of the beam spot is enlarged to a certain extent and overlaps with adjacent isotopes, …
