Abstract

It was recently argued by Kemp et al. that HALEU (high-assay low-enriched uranium, or uranium enriched up to 19.75\%) can conceivably be used to produce a nuclear weapon and on this basis civilian enrichment limits should be lowered to 10% or 12%. We find their argument unconvincing in several respects.

关于使用高分辨低浓缩铀生产核武器的实用性
坎普等人最近提出,HALEU(高分析低浓缩铀,或浓缩到 19.75%的铀)可以用于生产核武器,因此民用铀浓缩限制应降低到 10%或 12%。我们认为他们的论点在几个方面缺乏说服力。
