(Redirected from Glossary:TSWU)
Separative work unit, abbreviated as SWU, is the standard measure of the effort required to separate isotopes of uranium (U235 and U238) during an enrichment process in nuclear facilities. 1 SWU is equivalent to 1 kg of separative work. As a larger unit, 1 tonne of separative work units or tSWU equals 1,000 kg of separative work.
