Plutonium isotopic composition determination by gamma spectrometry

Creators

Description

It is possible to use this method with a good knowledge of gamma emission parameters and a carefull data processing. The best results are obtained in the range 120-450 keV for analysis of Pu-238, Pu-239, Pu-240 and Pu-241. The proportion of Pu-242 not given by gamma spectrometry is obtained by isotopic correlations

Abstract (French)

Cette determination est possible sous reserve d'une meilleure connaissance des parametres qui caracterisent l'emission gamma et d'une grande maitrise dans l'exploitation des donnees. La region 120-450 keV semble etre la plus appropriee pour determiner les proportions en Pu-238, Pu-239, Pu-240 et Pu-241. La proportion du Pu-242 non decelable par spectrometrie gamma peut etre evaluee en utilisant certaines correlations isotopiques
