ABSTRACT:
In a system for isotope separation, method and apparatus empolying crossed-field MHD particle accelerating techniques for collecting ions of a desired isotope after selective ionization of that isotope. In the plasma of electrons and selectively ionized atoms which results from selective isotope ionization, the ions are collected by inducing a circulation of the plasma electrons to provide a JXB relationship for MHD acceleration of the ions. The electron circulation enhances penetration of the plasma by the accelerating electric field and avoids the generation of large Hall voltages within the system as well as reducing the required magnitude of electrode currents.
