PRECISION MASS SPECTROMETRIC DETERMINATIONS OF URANIUM ISOTOPIC COMPOSITION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4223214
Mass spectrometers are subject to a variable phenomenon called "memory" which amounts to 1 to 2O% in the analysis of UF/sub 6/. A procedure using an interpolative method of standardization reduces the effect of memory to a negligible amount while at the same time compensating for or eliminating other sources of error. The use of a mass spectrometer for rapid and accurate determination of uranium isotopic abundance is described. (J.E.D.)
