THE DETERMINATION OF PLUTONIUM BY MASS SPECTROMETRY USING A 242 -PLUTONIUM TRACER
Journal Article

· Analytica Chimica Acta (Netherlands)
An isotopic dilution method is described for determining pu in samples of irradiated U using a Pu/sup 242/ tracer. An aliquot of tracer is added to the sample and the mixture treated to ensure isotopic exchange; Pu is then separated by ion exchange and an isotopic analysis made using an M.S./sub 5/. mass spectrometer. The precision (3 sigma ) for an aliquot containing 0.1 mu g Pu is 0.6%. A possible application of the method would be in the control of feed solution in a chemical plant processing natural U fuel elements as, for example, the Windscale primary separation plant. (auth)
