Description
Re-enrichment of reprocessed uranium gives opportunity to save natural uranium. The variable U6 and U4 contents in RU put penalty on the energetic value of uranium. Nevertheless linearity of phenomenons in a realistic concentrations scale, allows us to establish a simple equivalence law between RU and natural uranium. (author). 1 fig
