The Helikon vortex separation process is an aerodynamic uranium enrichment process designed around a device called a vortex tube.

In aerodynamic enrichment processes, a mixture of gaseous UF6 and light gas (hydrogen or helium) is compressed and then passed through separating elements ...

The Aerodynamic Separation Process (ASP) being developed by Klydon in South Africa employs similar stationary-wall centrifuges with UF6 injected tangentially.

The pressing need for enriched uranium to fuel nuclear power reactors, requiring that as many as ten large uranium isotope separation plants be built during ...

Aerodynamic separation processes are characterized as those involving diffusion of disparate masses driven either by a pressure gradient or by inertia ...

The ASP enrichment process uses an aerodynamic technique similar to a stationary wall centrifuge. The isotope material in raw gas form enters the stationary ...

This chapter presents brief, quantitative descriptions of a number of uranium enrichment processes that have been developed or are undergoing.

In aerodynamic enrichment processes, a mixture of gaseous UF 6 and light gas (hydrogen or helium) is compressed and then passed through separating elements.
