The purpose of this module is to assist the trainee in describing the general principle of the gas centrifuge technology and general facility and component layout, identifying the uses of the centrifuge process in industry and the production amounts of enriched uranium, and identifying the hazards and safety concerns for the process, including m...
Fig. 2: Diagram illustrating the general operation principle of a Zippe centrifuge (Courtesy of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission) The main operating principle for a centrifuge is that when a mixture of fluids is rotating very quickly, the rotation of the device produces, in an accelerated reference frame, a centrifugal force on the fluids ...
The Zippe-type centrifuge is a gas centrifuge designed to enrich the rare fissile isotope uranium-235 (235 U) from the mixture of isotopes found in naturally occurring uranium compounds. The isotopic separation is based on the slight difference in mass of the isotopes.
Iran has announced its activation of a second set of uranium centrifuges. These machines are at the core of the uranium-enrichment process. Find out where the centrifuge fits into the equation.
The team at the University of Virginia designed a supercritical machine, 7.35 in diameter and 136 in long, which operated at 270 m/s in a four-stream mode. Westinghouse built a slightly smaller version, 7.2 in diameter by 132 in long, as well as a subcritical machine, 7.2 in diameter by 42 in long.
8 Ιουν 2009 · The gas centrifuge works on the principle of pressure diffusion. The rotational motion of the centrifuge accelerates gas molecules toward the wall of the rotor. A counteracting diffusive force created by the thermal motion of the molecules seeks to distribute the gas evenly throughout the rotor volume.
1 Σεπ 2008 · Uranium enrichment by centrifugation is the basis for the quick and efficient production of nuclear fuel—or nuclear weapons.
