Description

An x-ray spectrometric method for analyzing binary plutonium-zirconium alloys containing 1 to 25 wt percent Zr has been developed. The alloys are analyzed as solutions in 8 M nitric acid. Yttrium is added as an internal standard. The techniques involved in handling and containing the radioactive solutions in conventional liquid cells are described in detail. No modifications to the x-ray spectrometer are required. Adaptations of this method have been used for the analysis of binary plutonium-gallium and plutonium-uranium alloys
