4. Problem 4.31: (a) Derive an explicit expression for the mass of tails produced in a specified enrichment requiring a given amount of separative work. (b) Show that in enriching natural uranium to 3 w/o, approximately 1 kg of 0.2 w/o tails are produced per SWU expended. (c) In 1981, the total enrichment capacity in operation in the world was 28.4 x 106SWU/yr. At what rate was depleted uranium being produced, assuming all the capacity was used to produce 3 w/o fuel? [Ans. (c) 28.4 x 106 kg/yr.]
