英国原子能厅与英国核燃料公司正在推进一项利用原子法激光分离同位素的研究计划,并预计于本世纪90年代中期完成实际试验设备。继而 Harwell & Culhum 也研制了功率为15w 的铜蒸气脉冲激光装置。82年由英国核燃料公司首先开创的激光分离同位素法正是利用了 Harwell 研究所有关激光装置的成果而推行的新研究计划,预定至90年代中叶将能证明该法比目前英、西德、荷兰 The UK's Atomic Energy Agency and British Nuclear Fuel Corp. are pushing ahead with a research project that uses laser decontamination of isotopes using atomic processes and is expected to complete the actual test equipment by the mid-1990s. Then Harwell & Culhum also developed a 15w copper vapor pulsed laser device. The laser-separated isotope method pioneered by British Nuclear Fuel Corporation in 1982, which utilizes the new research program of the Harwell Institute on the achievements of laser devices, is scheduled to prove to be more effective than current British, West German, Dutch
