Evaluation of the analysis of plutonium materials for low-level uranium using a modified Scintrex uranium analyzer (laser fluorometer)
Abstract
Evaluation and analysis of low-level uranium in plutonium materials using a modified Scintrex UA-3 Uranium Analyzer are described. Two liquid/liquid procedures for the separation of uranium from plutonium are compared. They are 0.1M tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) in cyclohexane and 20% (v/v) tributyl phosphate (TBP) in 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (iso-octane).
