Les deux procédés actuellement utilisés dans des installations de taille commerciale sont basés sur la séparation en phase gazeuse de l'hexafluorure d’uranium et utilisent l'un la diffusion à travers des barrières poreuses et l'autre la centrifugation. Des travaux de recherche à différents stades de développement se poursuivent dans plusieurs pays sur les techniques de séparation par excitation laser et par procédés chimiques. Les résultats déjà obtenus à l'échelle du laboratoire et d’installations pilotes indiquent que les procédés par effet laser sont susceptibles de conduire à une réduction sensible des taux de rejets possibles des usines d’enrichissement ainsi que des coûts des services d’enrichissement. 1, record 2, French, - s%C3%A9paration%20par%20excitation%20laser

In the seventies, the CEA, in collaboration with its subsidiaries Sfec and Technicatome, developed a fuel with a low level of enrichment, Caramel. The CEA used complete cores of Caramel in the Isis and Osiris reactors. It recently abandoned use of Caramel in Osiris to the benefit of silicide fuel. Caramel fuel was and, it seems, may still be, used in submarines. Caramel fuel is composed of flat pastilles of uranium oxide enriched to about 7.5%. Each pastille has almost the shape and size of a true caramel, hence the name. 1, record 3, English, - Caramel%20fuel

The larger-diameter particles from 100 to 1000 nm, are found chiefly in the stratosphere, peaking near 18 km, where they have a residence time of 2 or more years. The stratospheric particles appear to be the result of nucleation of trace gases, particularly those involving sulfur, although volcanic eruptions have been known to produce stratospheric particulates. 1, record 5, English, - stratospheric%20particle
