COMPUTER SIMULATION OF LASER RADIOISOTOPE SEPARTION SYSTEM

The work with the method of atomic vapor laser isotope separation needs to know the accurate energy levels of the element to be separated and its isotopic shifts also need to make calculations depend on physical constants of the isotopes to know the possibility of separation of its isotopes by using laser pulses with specific shape and wavelength. This present study is based on the theoretical equations to legalize the process of isotope separation of Uranium-235 from Uranium metal by using the method of atomic vapor laser isotope separation. A well designed software programs are used to get mathematical results of U-235 enrichment between 3 - 5 % from the Uranium metal and it is the suitable fuel used in nuclear power plants for generating electricity - noting that the isotope U-235 represents 0.711% of the natural Uranium.
