Abstract
It is proposed that the 232,234,236U concentration in reprocessed uranium hexafluoride be lowered by adding an extra product stream into a cascade of gas centrifuges. In the extra product 235U is concentrated up to 95% or more while at the same time the 232,234,236U concentration is reduced. This product is diluted with waste uranium hexafluoride to 235U concentration <5%. A computational experiment was performed for cascades with a different number of gas centrifuges per stage. The product obtained after dilution with 232,234U was shown to meet the ASTM C996-15 specifications for commercial grade uranium hexafluoride. The 236U content is equal to 0.1% and requires very little compensation by raising the 235U concentration.
