(Quality control for isotope dilution mass spectrometry)

This visit to the Safeguards Analytical Laboratory (SAL) examined a preliminary computer simulation program to study isotope dilution analysis by mass spectrometry (IDMS). Although the general simulation methods were acceptable, specific parameter values used in the simulation did not represent SAL's uranium and plutonium samples. These characterization parameters will be updated, and the simulation will be repeated. This simulation program will be used to analyze the effects of different components of the measurement errors on the final uranium and plutonium concentration calculations. 9 refs., 2 figs.
