A method is, herein, disclosed for separating a specific isotope from a mixture of isotopes by first irradiating the isotope mixture with a highly monochromatic laser light that resonates only with the energy level of the specific isotope so as to increase its chemical activity and then bombarding said specific isotope with a molecule containing highly reactive atoms so as to form a spatially separated compound rich in the specific isotope.
