Description

An analytical methodology was developed for precise quantification and isotope ratio measurement of boron in U3Si2 matrix by using ICP-MS after matrix separation. The analytical technique was validated by recovery studies employing standard addition method and the accuracy in isotope ratio measurement was improved by correcting the bias factor after analyzing NIST SRM951. The quantification of B in the three U3Si2 samples was found in the range of 2.32-3.90 μg g-1 with a maximum standard deviation of 3%. The 10B/11B value in the three samples was found to be 0.2455±0.0042, 0.2451±0.0036 and 0.2452±0.0041. (author)
