A SLOW-SCAN DIRECT-READING SPECTROMETER FOR URANIUM ISOTOPE ANALYSIS USING A WATER-COOLED HOLLOW CATHODE SOURCE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4109907
The design and construction of a direct reading Echelle spectrograph for determining uranium isotope ratios up to 150:1 are described. From 15 to 25 samples per 8hour day can be analyzed. The precision (30) of determination of 93% U/sup 235/ is 05%. A new type of water-cooled hollow cathode excitation source is also described. (auth)
