Abstract
It is proposed to use a direct-flow plasma centrifuge with a double skimmer to isolate intermediate-mass components of spent nuclear fuel. The separation of a three-component mixture of ions with masses 90, 140, and 240 amu is considered. It is shown that efficient isolation of the intermediate-mass component on a separate collector is possible.
