Integrated separation scheme for measuring a suite of fission and activation products from a fresh mixed fission and activation product sample

Mixed fission and activation materials resulting from various nuclear processes and events contain a wide range of isotopes for analysis spanning almost the entire periodic table. This work describes the production of a complex synthetic sample containing fission products, activation products, and i...

Summary:Mixed fission and activation materials resulting from various nuclear processes and events contain a wide range of isotopes for analysis spanning almost the entire periodic table. This work describes the production of a complex synthetic sample containing fission products, activation products, and irradiated soil, and determines the percent chemical recovery of select isotopes through the integrated chemical separation scheme. Based on the results of this experiment, a complex synthetic sample can be prepared with low atom/fission ratios and isotopes of interest accurately and precisely measured following an integrated chemical separation method.
