ISOTOPE ENRICHMENT IN ZIRCONIUM WITH A PLASMA CENTRIFUGE - FINAL REPORT.

This report presents a summary of the work done by Omega-P, Inc. , at the Yale University plasma centrifuge under AECL (Atomic Energy of Canada Limited) contract CR31-3946. The goal of the contract was to establish the feasibility of large scale production of isotopically enriched zirconium by this novel technique. Scientific, technical and costing aspects were to be considered. Largely as a result of this contract, the scientific and technical feasibility of centrifugal isotope separation in rotating plasmas on a commercial scale is now established.
