OBTAINING HIGHLY CONCENTRATED MOLYBDENUM ISOTOPES ACCORDING TO A MULTISTAGE SCHEME IN A CASCADE OF GAS CENTRIFUGES

Consideration has been given to the distinctive features of multistep concentration of all the molybdenum isotopes in a cascade with a varying type of stages as far as the number of gas centrifuges is concerned. A computational experiment on separation of molybdenum hexafl uoride was conducted. A procedure of calculation from the cuts of partial fl ows of the stages was used which takes account of the dependence of the separation factors of gas centrifuges on their feed fl ow and the fl ow-division coeffi cient. It has been shown that the high effi ciency of separation processes is attained with a large number of stages and gas centrifuges and small feed fl ows of the cascade
