【 摘 要 】

In previous years, the annual report concentrated on the work that was performed in the immediate past year. This year, in order to emphasize the great amount of progress that has been made, we will summarize our process and present the many membranes that we fabricated with high separation factors. One of our past major problems has been the classified status of much of our fabrication process. DOE has developed a review process whereby developed membranes can be reviewed for classified information and non-proliferation risk. When a membrane passes that review process the membrane can be declared unclassified and available for commercial manufacture. Currently, we have fifteen membranes/filters approved for commercial manufacture. At present; Pall Corporation is the only company licensed to manufacture these membranes/filters.
