Abstract
Method and apparatus for selectively exciting and separating a selected isotope or molecule from a mixture of isotopes or molecules, particularly useful in separation of isotopes of uranium and other heavy metals. The method serially includes placing the mixture of isotopes in an excited gaseous state, selectively de-exciting one or more isotopes of the mixture, and subsequently permanently separating the de-excited and excited isotopes.
