Abstract
A method of purifying a UF.sub.6 gas stream which comprises irradiating the UF.sub.6 gas stream with laser radiation in a vessel in order to selectively convert fluoride impurities in the gas stream to involatile products, removing the purified UF.sub.6 gas stream from the vessel and separately removing the impurities from the vessel.
