Spatial distribution of electrical potential formation in background plasma involving the magnetic field is one of the important challenges for the plasma separation method of spent nuclear fuel that is currently being developed. This is required for spatial separation and compensation of space charge of the ionized flows of substances with different masses; such flows are injected into the background plasma along the magnetic field lines. This paper studies the mutual influence of the argon reflex discharge and the lead plasma jet injected into this discharge. The lead plasma jet is formed by the plasma source based on arc discharge with the hot cathode and the induction evaporation of the plasma forming substance. This study demonstrates the possibility of the lead plasma jet ion deflection by the radial electric field formed in the reflex discharge plasma. The experimental data show that the lead plasma jet has a significant effect on the spatial distribution of reflex discharge electric potential. Whereby, the volume occupied by reflex discharge plasma is much greater than the volume occupied by the lead plasma jet.
