The international safeguards program badly needs an on-site inspection device capable of providing the isotopic compositions of uranium and plutonium; this is especially important for assaying spent fuel solutions at reprocessing plants. An agreement between the IAEA and the Japanese reprocessing plant at Tokai has led to the installation of a Finnigan-MAT THQ mass spectrometer at the Tokai pollution facility (PFPF). It will be shared by the two organizations. The first scheduled use for the IAEA begins in August, 1989, and it was thus necessary to have a trained corps of inspectors available at that time. I assisted in preparation of the training course and in teaching its first week. Four inspectors received training. 4 refs.
