Keywords: Aerodynamic enrichment nozzle.svg Created with Inkscape Schematic separation nozzle used in aerodynamic uranium enrichment plants In aerodynamic enrichment processes a mixture of gaseous UF<sub>6</sub> 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 Created by Fastfission in Inkscape Based on images 26 1 1 for the labels and general design conventions and images 26 1 2 and actual photo of the geometry from page 34 of chapter 3 of U S Department of Energy's http //www iraqwatch org/government/US/DOE/DOE-Annex3 htm Handbook for Notification of Exports to Iraq Annex 3 2006-08-18 Fastfission <span class signature-talk >talk</span> If you want to credit someone credit Wikimedia Commons Otherwise don't credit anyone that's fine by me --Fastfission 15 02 14 April 2008 UTC Hebrew version French version Fastfission Uranium enrichment |
