Input plutonium accountability measurements at the Hanford Plutonium Uranium Extraction Facility by Isotopic Dilution Mass Spectrometry

Conference · · Nucl. Mater. Manage. Annu. Meet. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5053594
;
Rockwell Hanford Operations' Analytical Laboratory is using Isotopic Dilution Mass Spectrometry (IDMS) to perform plutonium accountability measurements on the input solutions to the Hanford Plutonium Uranium Extraction (PUREX) facility. A number of decisions were made in the design of the IDMS procedure to satisfy the requirements of highest possible accuracy, minimum number of analyses and minimum radiation exposure to personnel. Experiences and performance achieved with the application of the IDMS technique to PUREX input plutonium accountability measurements are reported.
