Third-generation laser uranium enrichment out of Australia, similar to CRISLA, superseding AVLIS and MLIS.
There are two fundamental insights behind SILEX:
- UF6 dimers can be broken up and excited with a single photon
- The mass difference between 235UF6 and a dimer of 238UF6 is 355, hugely larger than that between
- 235U and 238U (3, traditional separation) or
- 235UF5 and 238UF6 (22, MLIS)
