Description

Recent achievements of the most important methods of spent fuel analysis (mass spectrometry, gamma spectrometry, alpha spectrometry, spectrophotometry, and X-ray fluorescence) are briefly reviewed. Special emphasis is given to burnup determinations and to the conclusions from spent fuel composition studies for the calibration of burnup calculation models and for nuclear safeguards (isotope correlation techniques). 71 refs.
