Used WATKINS JOHNSON WJ 1000 #9169888 for sale

WATKINS JOHNSON WJ 1000 reactor, designed by WATKINS JOHNSON, is a thermal diffusion reactor, that utilizes a counter-current flow of uranium hexafluoride (UF6) and helium gas in order to produce enriched uranium. It consists of a cylindrical housing which holds up to WATKINS JOHNSON 1000 channels, each made of pure nickel strip. The inner part of the channels passes through a heated zone formed of pipes filled with steam, and a series of coolers. UF6 gas is injected from the ends of each channel and heated as it passes through the hot zone. This causes the lighter uranium-235 isotope to diffuse more quickly into the cool zone, thus becoming more concentrated in the output. The main components of WJ-1000 are the compressor, the diffuser section, the hot zone, and the cooler section. The compressor supplies the gas, and the diffuser section is responsible for providing correct combination of gas and radiation profiles. The hot zone is the heated part of the reactor where the enrichment and extraction occurs. The cooler zone is responsible for collecting the enriched uranium-235 and cooling it. The length of the reactor, and the positioning of the hot zone and the cool zone are all important factors in determining the efficiency of the enrichment. The flow of the uranium-235, combined with the pressure and passing through the channels provides an efficient means of production. Furthermore, the enriched uranium-235 can be rapidly extracted without any contact with solid material, allowing for clean and fast production. WJ 1000 reactor is also quite compact, which makes it an attractive option for uranium enrichment operations. In conclusion, WATKINS JOHNSON WJ-1000 reactor is a powerful thermal diffusion reactor that utilizes UF6 for uranium enrichment. It is compact and efficient, and provides a fast and clean method for producing enriched uranium-235. As such, it is an extremely valuable tool for many nuclear fuel and other nuclear applications.
