ISOTOPE SEPARATION PLANT Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: electrophysics, in particular, systems used for separation of isotopes, for instance, for separation of heavy isotopes. SUBSTANCE: plant uses an ion source based on a magnetic trap with rotating plasma, which allows to obtain a plasma flux of a small radial size (plasma size of the order of ion Larmor radius), ion-cyclotron resonance heating system with a solenoidal-type antenna providing for an effective heating of isotopic ions within the whose scope of plasma flux, and a system for collection of isotope fluxes on magnetic field curvilinear element making it possible to spatially separate heated and cold ions at employment of plasma flux of small radial size. EFFECT: enhanced capacity, reduced overall dimensions, separation of isotopes of different elements and enhanced degree of isotope separation. 1 dwg
