Estimated efficiency of gas centrifuge cascade profiling for the feeding stream of stages

Abstract

The present paper considers methods for profiling the feeding stream of stages in a cascade of gas centrifuges with variable stage separation coefficients and a given concentration of the target component in the outlet streams. An advanced method is proposed to increase the efficiency of a gas centrifuge cascade with a given layout. A computational experiment is conducted to enrich reprocessed uranium hexafluoride and separate germanium tetrafluoride. The methods are compared; the advantages of the proposed method are demonstrated.
