centrifuge method the centrifuge method feeds UFs gas into a series of vacuum tubes 1 to 2 meters long and 15-20 cm diameter, each containing a rotor When the rotors are spun rapidly, at 50,000 to 70,000 rpm the heavier molecules 238UF6 increase in concentration towards the cylinder's outer edge There is a corresponding increase in concentration of 235UF6 molecules near the center Enhanced concentration is further achieved by inducing an axial circulation within the cylinder. The enriched gas is drawn off and goes forward to further stages while the depleted UF goes back to the previous stage
