Plasma methods, where only electricity is required, are an alternative to the PUREX process used in industry for spent nuclear fuel reprocessing. It is considered the possibility of filtering out the target ions (М = 232…277) to the collector at the first turn of the ion trajectory in the plasma mass filter, which is currently being developed, that is achieved by specifying certain parameters (amplitude and frequency) for a variable component of a radial electric field. This approach significantly reduces the thermal load onto deposition surface of target ions.
