Third-generation laser uranium enrichment out of Australia, similar to CRISLA, superseding [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_vapor_laser_isotope_separation AVLIS] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_laser_isotope_separation MLIS]. | Third-generation laser uranium enrichment out of Australia, similar to CRISLA, superseding [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_vapor_laser_isotope_separation AVLIS] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_laser_isotope_separation MLIS]. The third generation is primarily defined by its end-to-end use of UF<sub>6</sub> (uranium hexafluoride). AVLIS used uranium metal; MLIS output UF<sub>5</sub>. | ||
