Migeru,

In practice, the diameter of a centrifuge is limited by the structural strength of material and the dimensional control. The larger, the more stress at a given rotational speed and the harder to maintain geometry (and keep the rotor balanced).

The determining factor for the dimension of a centrifuge is not really the enrichment target but simply technical feasibility.
