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 2, 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 2, French, - teneur%20de%20rejet

La scie à chantourner est une scie montée de petite dimension(15 à 17 cm), de structure semblable à celle de la scie de marqueterie. Elle comporte une lame fixe et étroite(2 à 4 mm) retenue sous tension par un cadre en métal rigide(11, 5 à 16, 5 cm de profond), en forme de U et muni d’une poignée de bois; des goupilles fixent les extrémités de la lame aux chaperons de métal qui donnent à la lame son orientation. [...] Sa denture très fine est triangulaire couchée, et ne coupe donc que dans un sens, mais on peut faire pointer les dents vers la poignée ou à l'opposé, selon le travail à exécuter. On utilise cette scie à chantourner soit pour l'exécution des courbes de très petit diamètre(moulures, p. ex.) que l'on ne peut réaliser avec la scie baïonnette [...] 1, record 3, French, - scie%20%C3%A0%20chantourner
