Plutonium, protactinium, uranium and thorium isotopes determination in environmental samples by SF ICP-MS
Alpha spectrometry is the most commonly used analytical tool for the determination of Pu, Am, Pa, U and Th long live radionuclides. Thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) and acceleration mass spectrometry (AMS) are also still considered as primary methods for the determination of their isotope ratios. Spectrometers with plasma ion sources now offer another efficient alternative method wit...
متن کاملConfigurational analysis of uranium-doped thorium dioxide
While thorium dioxide is already used industrially in high temperature applications, more insight is needed about the behaviour of the material as part of a mixed-oxide (MOX) nuclear fuel, incorporating uranium. We have developed a new interatomic potential model, commensurate with a prominent existing UO2 potential, to conduct configurational analyses of uranium-doped ThO2 supercells. Using th...
متن کاملUranium Isotope Ratio Measurements with the NexION ICP-MS
One of the beneficial features of inductively coupled mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is its ability to measure multiple isotopes of the same element. This ability is useful in many analyses, primarily as confirmation of a correct answer (i.e. if two isotopes of the same element give the same result, the result is most likely correct) or the ability to select another analytical isotope, if an interf...
متن کاملEvolution of uranium and thorium minerals
The origins and near-surface distributions of the ~250 known uranium and/or thorium minerals elucidate principles of mineral evolution. This history can be divided into four phases. The first, from ~4.5 to 3.5 Ga, involved successive concentrations of uranium and thorium from their initial uniform trace distribution into magmatic-related fluids from which the first U4+ and Th4+ minerals, uranin...
متن کاملTuning the Clock : Uranium and Thorium
We obtain age estimates for the progenitor(s) of the extremely metal-poor ([Fe/H = −2.9) halo star CS 31082-001, based on the recently reported first observation of a Uranium abundance in this (or any other) star. Age estimates are derived by application of the classical r-process model with updated nuclear physics inputs. The [U/Th] ratio yields an age of 13±4 Gyr or 8±4 Gyr, based on the use ...
