Abstract

In uranium enrichment a substantial cost reduction seems to be possible with laser-based processes. Two different approaches are under investigation, the atomic-vapor process and the molecular process with UF6. The specific problems are discussed and the laser parameters are estimated. After intensive development activities in the past ten years the laser processes seem now to be ready for technical realization.
