EXTREME Pu-U AND POSSIBLE Pu-REE FRACTIONATION IN UNEQUILIBRATED CHO ND RITES

چکیده
In the abstracts of the 44th Annual Meeting of the Meteoritical Society a new stony-iron meteorite found at Penwell near Odessa, Ector County, Texas was reported. This meteorite was characterized by a high concentration of cliftonite graphite. Additional study of this meteorite shows that the non-metallic phases are similar to those found in silicate inclusions of the Odessa iron meteorite. Table I compares the analysis of some minerals from Penwell with those reported for Odessa and those analyzed in samples identified as PseudoPenwell. Pseudo-Penwell is a sample of several stones collected after Penwell was first reported. It was made available to us by James DuPont. The original Penwell and the Pseudo-Penwell have different macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. Penwell appears to be more coarsely crystalline with a granoblastic texture than Pseudo-Penwell or Odessa silicate inclusions.

متن کاملOrigin Determination of Reactor Produced Plutonium by Mass Spectrometric Techniques: Application to Nuclear Forensic Science and Safeguards
The age and production type, i.e. origin, are highly important parameters to be revealed when seized Pu from illicit trafficking has to be analysed. In addition, in a view of pending Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty, the age determination of Pu enables to control the agreement. The ages of Pu bulk samples were determined from the Pu/U, Pu/U and Pu/U ratios by IDMS and the results were compared t...
متن کاملLaser-induced Photoacoustic Spectroscopy for the Chemical Speciation of Pu(VI)
Speciation of actinide in natural aquatic system is of great interest for the safety assessment of a nuclear waste disposal in deep geological system [1]. Actinide ions form complicate complexes with various ligands such as OH, CO3, and humic substances in groundwater. These complexes can enhance or reduce the migration of actinide elements. The direct speciation of these complexes in groundwat...
متن کاملOne-step, regioselective synthesis of up to 50-mers of RNA oligomers by montmorillonite catalysis.
5'-Nucleotides of A and U with the phosphate activated with 1-methyladenine generate RNA oligomers containing 40-50 monomers in 1 day in reactions catalyzed by montmorillonite. The corresponding monomers of C give oligomers that are 20-25-mers in length after a 9-day reaction. It was not possible to determine the chain lengths of the oligomers of G since they did not give well-defined bands on ...
متن کاملQuartz-Crystal Spectrometer for the Analysis of Plutonium K X-Rays
The ability to quickly quantify the Pu content within spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is essential to nuclear forensics. Analysis of the Pu to U ratio can provide information on fuel which could contribute to the attribution of a fuel sample. Plutonium concentration data can be acquired through non-destructive analysis (NDA) by detecting self-induced x-ray fluorescence (XRF) from Pu in the fuel. Howev...
