Narrative:
I was training a developmental on sector xx. We had a radar outage in the area. ZZZ1 approach had two flights on the same route to the east; both climbing to 150b190. When we asked the DME of the aircraft it was less than 20 miles. I then took over and established vertical separation by assigning one flight 180b190; and the other 150b170. In the event of a radar outage at the center; approach controls should only climb aircraft to the top of their airspace; and only ship the second aircraft when vertically separated.
