What Does AVLIS Stand For?

AVLIS stands for Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation

AVLIS, or Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation, is an advanced technology employed primarily for the enrichment of isotopes, particularly uranium. This process utilizes laser systems to selectively ionize specific isotopes in a vapor state, allowing for their separation from other isotopes during the enrichment process. AVLIS enhances efficiency in isotope separation compared to traditional methods, making it a significant technique in fields such as nuclear energy and medical isotope production.
