The authors demonstrate the possibility of electrolytic deposition of nanogram quantities of ruthenium, separated from solutions of spent nuclear fuel directly on the rhenium evaporator of the mass spectrometer ion source, implementing electrolyzer constructions under consideration. It is experimentally shown that for low ruthenium levels mass-spectrometric analysis makes it possible to measure the isotope ratio of masses 101 and 104 with sufficient accuracy to serve as a reference for estimation of the burnup components of spent fuel.
