This project will develop methodology to identify and analyze U and Pu containing particles using laser ablation MC-ICP-MS. The proposed work will involve: i) setup and optimization of the LA-MC-ICP-MS system, ii) testing and validation by analysis of QC standards, iii) designing analytical protocols for single particles, and iv) developing a data processing system. Ultimately, this project will output a detailed operating procedure documenting the experimental techniques and data processing routines required to perform particle identification and analysis by laser ablation MC-ICP-MS, that can be shared with IAEANWAL laboratories.
