Spectrographic determination of metallic impurities in PuO2
- 1. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay (India). Radiochemistry Div.
Description
An emission spectrographic method has been developed for the estimation of 22 metallic impurities in plutonium dioxide using carrier-distillation technique silver chloride at 5% concentration in a charge of 100 mg has been used as the carrier. Mixed oxide standards containing 10% PuO2 have been used for the analysis of matching composition of plutonium samples. Precision and accuracy determinations of the synthetic samples indicate 7-16% deviation for most of the elements. The work described includes analysis of reference samples and matrix effect studies. The method is suitable for the chemical quality control analysis of plutonium oxide to be used for Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) fuel. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Mit dem Verfahren der Traegerdestillation koennen 22 Elemente in Plutoniumdioxid spektralanalytisch erfasst werden. Als Traeger dient 5% Silberchlorid in je 100 mg. Mischoxid-Standards mit 10% PuO2 wurden verwendet. Bei der Untersuchung von Genauigkeit und Reproduzierbarkeit synthetischer Proben wurden fuer die meisten Elemente Abweichungen von 7-16% festgestellt. Matrixeinfluesse wurden ebenfalls untersucht sowie Analyseergebnisse fuer bestimmte Bezugsstandards mitgeteilt. Das Verfahren eignet sich fuer die Qualitaetskontrolle von PuO2-Brennstoffen fuer schnelle Brutreaktoren. (orig.)Additional details
