OSTI ID:7246212
A method is described for the determination of U and Pu concentrations and their isotopic abundances in solutions which result from the dissolution of nuclear reactor fuels either before or after irradiation. An aliquot of the solution to be analyzed is spiked with known amounts of /sup 233/U and /sup 242/Pu. U and Pu are separated by ion exchange and analyzed mass spectrometrically. (BLM)
