Laser isotopic separation of uranium could profit from UF 6 photodissociation. Direct cleavage of UF 6 (50 g) by UV light into UF 5 and highly pure fluorine was achieved almost quantitatively (39 h) in a new apparatus. It should be possible in principle to accomplish laser isotope separation without scavengers and to recover fluorine in the nuclear fuel cycle.
