enriched in light isotope
1Isotope separation — is the process of concentrating specific isotopes of a chemical element by removing other isotopes, for example separating natural uranium into enriched uranium and depleted uranium. This is a crucial process in the manufacture of uranium fuel… …
2isotope — isotopic /uy seuh top ik/, adj. isotopically, adv. /uy seuh tohp /, n. Chem. any of two or more forms of a chemical element, having the same number of protons in the nucleus, or the same atomic number, but having different numbers of neutrons in… …
3Enriched uranium — Proportions of uranium 238 (blue) and uranium 235 (red) found naturally versus enriched grades Enriched uranium is a kind of uranium in which the percent composition of uranium 235 has been increased through the process of isotope separation.… …
4Enriched Xenon Observatory — The Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) is a particle physics experiment searching for double beta decay of Xenon 136. The experiment uses a large amount of xenon, isotopically enriched in xenon 136. This isotope is theorized to undergo ordinary… …
5Kinetic isotope effect — The kinetic isotope effect (KIE) is the ratio of reaction rates of two different isotopically labeled molecules in a chemical reaction. It is also called isotope fractionation, although this term is somewhat broader in meaning. A KIE involving… …
6nuclear reactor — Physics. reactor (def. 4). Also called nuclear pile. [1940 45] * * * Device that can initiate and control a self sustaining series of nuclear fission reactions. Neutrons released in one fission reaction may strike other heavy nuclei, causing them …
7mass spectrometry — or mass spectroscopy Analytic technique by which chemical substances are identified by sorting gaseous ions by mass using electric and magnetic fields. A mass spectrometer uses electrical means to detect the sorted ions, while a mass spectrograph …
8Isotopes of lithium — Naturally occurring lithium (Li) (standard atomic mass: 6.941(2) u) is composed of two stable isotopes (SimpleNuclide|Lithium|6 and SimpleNuclide|Lithium|7, the latter being the more abundant (92.5% natural abundance). Seven radioisotopes have… …
