Abstract
The laser-based process for uranium isotope separation is described. The process is expected to be the first large-scale application of lasers to bulk matterials processing - one that will provide insight into the character of other future large-scale laser-based industrial processes. The process is discussed from the standpoints of the status of the copper/dye laser components and systems and cost implications for the these laser systems.
