## Description

The STEP Programme is interested in an isotope separation technology based on electromagnetic techniques, to provide isotopically tailored materials to reduce radioactive waste for the STEP concept and prototype reactor, with effective benefits relating to cost and scaling\. UKAEA requires a detailed design of a rig, that can form the prototype of an advanced isotopic tailoring technique based on electro-magnetic separation
