THE SEPARATION OF URANIUM ISOTOPES BY GASEOUS DIFFUSION: A LINEAR PROGRAMMING MODEL,

Abstract

The model depicted concerns an idealized version of the gaseous diffusion process in steady-state operation. Three types of relations are taken into account: (a) material balance within the plant, (b) the scale of plant required to generate given material flows, and (c) the irreversible nature of the gaseous diffusion process. The principal intended contribution of this paper is in suggesting the importance of the last consideration in certain applications, and in describing a way to handle it via linear programming.
