IMPROVED TECHNIQUES FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE ISOTOPES OF URANIUM WHEN USING MASS SPECTROMETERS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4246523
Methods of improving the performance of MS2 mass spectrometers when used for hex analysis are presented. By increasing the sensitivity of the spectrometer and by fluorinating the copper ion box, the memory effect is reduced and the useful life of the ion box is increased. When using the single collection technique, the number of plant samples that may be measured before it becomes necessary to remove the ionization box for cleaning is increased from about 32 to 90 samples. The accuracy of the double collection enrichment technique is considerably increased. Details are given of the method of fluorination used to obtain this improvement. (auth)
