堆后铀产品中232U测定方法研究

Investigation of Determination Method for 232U Concentration in Reprocessed Uranium

  • 摘要: 232U是燃料元件制造中需严格控制的铀同位素,为此,需建立一种准确的测量方法。本工作建立了一种α谱仪和质谱法相结合测定铀产品中232U含量的新方法。采用质谱法测量234U、235U、236U与238U的同位素丰度比,α谱仪测量232U的活度和234U、235U、236U、238U的总活度,即可计算出铀产品中232U的浓度。对于232U含量为1.118 ng/g的样品,16次测定数据的相对标准偏差为3.43%,证明该测量方法有效,可应用于实际样品的分析测定。

     

    Abstract: 232U concentration is stringently controlled in nuclear fuel fabrication, an accurate determination method for determining 232U concentration is needed. An analytical method was developed for the measurement of 232U by combining of α spectrometry and mass spectrometry. The isotopic abundances ratio of 234U, 235U and 236U to 238U in samples were obtained with mass spectrometry, and the total activities of 234U, 235U, 236U and 238U, and the activity of 232U were measured with α spectrometry. The concentration of 232U can be calculated. The uncertainty of the results was evaluated. The relative standard deviation of 16 analysis using this method is 3.43% for the samples with 1.118 ng/g 232U. The results show that this method can be used for routine analysis in nuclear fuel fabrication plant.
