Isotope separation in plasmas by the ion-cyclotron resonance method

Contemporary state of investigations on isotope separation in plasma using selective ion-cyclotron resonance heating (ICR) is considered. The most att ention is paid to the necessary conditions of heating selectivity, plasma c reation methods in isotopes, ICR-separation facilities, and the selection o f antenna systems for the heating and selection principles of more heated c omponent. Experimental results obtained at different isotope mixtures separ ation are presented.
