Historically there has, at times, been large variability in measured uranium concentration amongst salt samples taken at the same time from the electrorefiner with relative standard deviations ranging from 0.59% up to a high of 114%. This has led to uncertainty in the actual uranium content of the salt. A series of surrogate experiments were performed with gadolinium to study the effects of Li2O, Gd2O3, and Gd metal additions to an LiCl-KCl-GdCl3 salt on the gadolinium content of the salt. These experiments showed no increase in salt sample variability following the additions of the mentioned species, indicating that the carryover of these species from the oxide reduction process may not lead to the historic variability issues.
