<p>Isotopes are separated, e.g. uranium enrichment is carried out, by the separating-nozzle process in an apparatus which comprises a plurality of separating-nozzle units with respective skimmer diaphragms and nozzles, coolers ahead of these units and gas passages for supplying the isotope gas mixture. The devices are functionally integrated into a separation cascade with a vacuum-tight vessel having a circular plan configuration. The vessel is subdivided by partitions into sectors for the individual stages of the cascade. The vessel has a spheroidal shape and is stiffened by the radial partitions. The vessel is set upon four plate-like supports arranged in a cruciform pattern with the separating units and coolers only being located in the respective sectors while the compressors are arranged in four structurally independent compressor assemblies disposed below the vessel in regions bracketed by the supports.</p> |
