Answer» What is Separative Work Units mean? Separative work – the amount of separation done by an enrichment process – is a function of the concentrations of the feedstock, the enriched output, and the depleted tailings; and is expressed in units which are so calculated as to be proportional to the total input (energy / machine operation time) and to the mass processed. Separative work is not energy. The same amount of separative work will require different amounts of energy depending on the efficiency of the separation technology. Separative work is measured in Separative work units SWU, kg SW, or kg UTA (from the German Urantrennarbeit – literally uranium separation work) 1 SWU = 1 kg SW = 1 kg UTA1 kSWU = 1 tSW = 1 t UTA1 MSWU = 1 ktSW = 1 kt UTA reference
