Annual report on analytical works in NUCEF in FY.2001

Analytical results of uranyl nitrate solution are essential data for the operation of the Static Experiment Critical facility (STACY), the Transient Experiment Critical Facility (TRACY) and the fuel treatment system in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Safety Engineering Research Facility (NUCEF). Analytical works were carried out for the determination of fuel characteristics before and after criticality experiments, fuel preparation and nuclear material accountancy in FY.2001. Moreover, as to preparation of plutonium nitrate solution for critical experiments at STACY, plutonium preliminary tests were carried out to confirm the treatment condition of plutonium nitrate solution. Analytical works were carried out on the preliminary tests. A total number of analytical samples in FY.2001 were 322 samples. This report summarizes the data on analytical works in FY.2001. (author)
