Nuclear pumping by the U-235 /n,ff/ FF reactionThe quenching role of the UF6 in noble gas nuclear pumped lasers is examined. Detailed results are presented for He-UF6-Xe system. These results indicate that depletion of the atomic ion is the mechanism responsible for the observed behavior. Based on this it is concluded that UF6 is not compatible with noble gas lasers but should be compatible with molecular lasers.
