PRC Laser Isotope Separation Research May Be Under Way: Hsu Fu-hsing of the Institute of Applied Chemistry, Academy of Sciences in Ch'ang-Ch'un, PRC, recently stated that his Institute was involved in laser isotope separation research. Heood grasp of the subject, andhis work involves the heavy elements, noting specifically uranium and uranium hexafluoride. He said they arelash lamp pumped dye laser, and he asked many knowledgeable questions regarding the constructionye laser pumped with an argon laser.

is apparently well informed in the field of dye lasers. These lasers are important in isotope separation because they are easily tuned to the desired wavelengths needed to selectively excite certain isotopes.
