Brett Isselhardt - Analysis of small samples of spent nuclear materials for interpreting reactor operating history
In 2004, I started to develop a new TOF-SIMS/SNMS apparatus aiming at individual particle analysis of aerosols such as PM2.5. Since collected aerosols are a mixture of particles with different origin and histories during drifting in air, bulk analysis like ICP-MS and GC-MS is limited to reveal the details of each particles. Traditionally, SEM-EDS or SEM-WDS was used for individual particle...
Interpreting the operating history of a nuclear reactor is a key question in safeguards, non-proliferation, and studies of environmental contamination. It can help answer questions related to the amount and quality of Pu or other radioactive materials that were produced during the irradiation. Traditional approaches to characterizing spent nuclear fuels rely either on radiometric counting...
