Title: Evaluation of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory bomb sample dissolution technique and automated extraction spectrophotometer for uranium assay

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4053922

A system for the automated analysis of uranium samples, developed by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL), has been evaluated for ERDA and LASL at the New Brunswick Laboratory. The system consisted of a bomb dissolution technique employing a teflon-lined Parr bomb, filtration of sample solution, gamma counting of the residue to determine its uranium content, and assay of the filtrate for uranium by an automated extraction spectrophotometer. Tests and test results are described. (auth)
