Abstract

This report summarizes the results from three programs for the production of highly enriched U/sup 235/ by the electromagnetic process. Products and enrichments obtained are: (1) 80 grams of 99.9% U/sup 235/, (2) 1100 grams of 99.7% U/sup 235/ and (3) 8 grams of 99.994% U/sup 235/. These materials have been made available for use on Atomic Energy Commission projects. An analysis of certain features of the process is made for its possible use in the separation of mass fractions 233 and 235 from 232, 234, and 235. (auth)
