SUBSTANCE: gas centrifuge plant comprises gas centrifuges with individual gas ducts mounted on the frame in two rows one opposite to the other . Each gas centrifuge has vertical hollow rotor that rotates inside the housing provided with the lid, stop valves, and main gas passages passing parallel to the rows of gas centrifuges. The passages underlies manual control of stop valves. The main passages are arranged horizontally in a single plane between the parallel rows of gas centrifuges under the top face surface of housing lids. The stop valves of each centrifuge are arranged in row perpendicular to the axes of the main passages. The rows of the stop valves of each pair of centrifuges that face each other are shifted in opposite direction with respect to the plane that passes through their vertical axes. In addition, the main passages can be mounted within a single collector or individual collectors.

EFFECT: reduced sizes and enhanced convenience of servicing.
