Abstract
Isotopic analysis using thermal ionization mass spectrometry coupled with scanning electron microscopy (SEMTIMS)was performed to determine the isotopic ratios of uranium contained in micro-particles in the 6th Nuclear SignaturesInterlaboratory Measurement Evaluation Programme (NUSIMEP-6) sample. Elemental analysis by energy dispersive X-rayspectroscopy (EDS) was conducted on uranium-bearing mirco-particles, which were transferred to rhenium filaments for TIMSloading using a micromanipulation system in a SEM. A multi-ion-counter system was utilized to detect the ion signals of thefour isotopes of uranium simultaneously. The isotope ratios of uranium corrected by bracketing using a reference materialshowed excellent agreement with the certified values. The measurement accuracy for n(234U)/n(238U) and (b) n(235U)/n(238U) was10% and 1%, respectively, which met the requirements for qualification for the NetWork of Analytical Laboratories (NWAL).
