Re: Uranium Enrichment

["Lloyd Bolling" <LAB@nrc.gov>]

Luke:

Try DOE publication EGG-2530, "Health Physics Manual of Good Practices for Uranium Facilities" dated June 1988.   Section 3 has good narratives and flow diagrams on gaseous diffusion.

I am trying to find a good text on Uranium enrichment. In particular, I am
interested in older gas diffusion systems and am most interested in the
contaminant carryover (U-234 activity per percent U-235 enrichment, how this
differed at various facilities/processes) What other contaminants could be
expected and what are their sources, expected concentrations, etc?  Is there
a production facility 'signature' that could be reliably seen in this? Any
advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
