Abstract :
The gaseous diffusion process is used to increase the concentration of fissionable uranium-235 above the 0.711% as found in natural uranium. Enrichment of this isotope is necessary to provide fuel to make nuclear power reactors economically attractive. This paper portrays the actual operation of a gaseous diffusion plant.1
