During the enrichment process in uranium enrichment plants, the percentage of the fissile uranium isotope uranium-235 is raised from its natural [0. 711%] to a reactor grade of 3. 2%... or 3. 6%... This process not only produces the enriched product, but also a waste stream depleted in uranium-235, typically to 0. 3%. The degree of depletion of uranium-235 in this depleted uranium waste(the "tails assay") is a parameter that can be adjusted to economical needs... 2, record 1, English, - tails%20assay

L'uranium, tel qu'on le trouve dans la nature, est constitué pour 0,711 % de son poids, par l'isotope fissile léger U [uranium] 235. Or, les réacteurs à eau légère fonctionnent avec de l'uranium contenant environ 3 % d'U 235. Le procédé d'enrichissement a donc pour objet de séparer les isotopes de l'uranium naturel pour obtenir de l'uranium enrichi contenant un pourcentage d'U 235 (pourcentage d'enrichissement) supérieur à celui du métal naturel et de l'uranium apprauvi contenant moins d'U 235 que le métal naturel (le contenu en U 235 étant appelé teneur de rejet). 2, record 1, French, - teneur%20de%20rejet

The AGI-30 sampler is a high-velocity liquid impinger widely used for air sample collection. [It] operates by drawing aerosols at a flow rate of 12.3-12.6 L/min through an inlet tube curved to simulate the nasal passage. In contrast to impaction of bioaerosols onto agar, impingers may give higher bacterial counts in environments where bacteria are carried as aggregates, mainly because bacterial clusters are broken up. 4, record 2, English, - liquid%20impinger
