Determination of xenon in irradiated nuclear fuel using a shielded electron microprobe
Description
The technique described produces a semi-quantitative determination of the distribution of xenon present in a section of fuel pin along a predetermined line. The x-ray counting technique chosen is to drive the spectrometer over the peak in small increments, counting at each step, then to integrate the resulting data over the entire peak. Counting times are usually 10 sec at each step and there are 30 to 40 steps over a peak. Interferences and possible loss of Xe due to local heating are discussed. Comparison with independent analysis is presented
