Description

An x-ray-fluorescence analysis system is being developed for determining uranium and plutonium concentrations in the solution obtained when the fuel rods from light-water power reactors are dissolved in nitric acid. These concentrations are needed to inventory the uranium and plutonium handled in fuel reprocessing plants. This technique should make it possible to analyze dissolver solution with speed and a 0.5 percent accuracy
