The paper reports the results of work on creation of a setup for isotope separation in the system of opposing axisymmetric magnetic fields with two field reverses. Consideration is given to a real possibility of improving the e±ciency of the electromagnetic separator and its resolving power in the double-reverse magnetic field system. It is demonstrated that the use of the opposing axisymmetric field system may substantially reduce the energy consumption during the process of isotope separation. The estimated magnetic field of the facility attests to a possibility of molybdenum isotope separation and isolation of high-purity ⁹⁸Mo and ¹⁰⁰Mo isotopes required for production of the ⁹⁹Mo/⁹⁹Tc generator, most widely used in modern medicine.
