New Uranium Separator
<N. Z.P. A.-Reuter— Copyright) LONDON, Feb. 25. A' uranium separator using liquids Instead of gas has reached an advanced stage of development, the “Daily Telegraph” reports. Its designer, Professor F. Schultz-Grunow, is considering a proposal to combine Australia's uranium, New Zealand’s free natural steam, and European capital resources to bring his separator into largescale use. Such a combine would be a serious competitor to the British-Dutch-German agreement to sell enriched uranium which has been separated from natural uranium by a gas centrifuge technique at Capenhurst, Cheshire. Professor Schultz-Grunow, of the department of mechanical engineering at the Technological University of Aachen, West Germany, says that his separator uses a tem-perature-difference of about 150 degrees Centigrade and a slowly-rotating disc to separate the heavier and the lighter atoms and molecules of gases and of liquids.
