Natural uranium contains two principal "isotopes" (U-235 and nonexplosive U-238) which differ only in atomic weight. Since the isotopes are identical chemically, they cannot be separated by chemical means. They must be separated by some process taking advantage of their slightly different atomic weights. The job is extremely...
Well Enough. Probably the Russians are using one or both of these processes, which have the advantage of working well enough even when they don't work too well. In the diffusion process, for instance, the U-235 has only to be pure enough to be "fissionable." If the...

But it is disintegration with a possibly liberating and cathartic effect and informed by a highly individual rhythm . . .
