Hypothetically, if the technique can enrich U, Pu, or other fissile isotopes in decent quantities, you run into other issues. Stirring an aqueous enriched uranium solution is a great way to have a criticality accident (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticality_accident). That’s not to say it’s impossible to manage, just difficult. UF6, the current compound of choice for enrichment, is in the gas phase during the process. |
