Summary
We have applied Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s state-of-the art characterization capabilities to several samples of spent nuclear material. This presentation will explain how we can analyze nearly any combination of 3 elements including U, Pu, Am, Sr, Rb, Mo, Zr, Nd, Ba, Cs simultaneously, usually with enough material remaining to analyze the others in a subsequent analysis. We will show how connecting multiple isotope ratios across elements and comparing those analytical results to computational models provide an improved understanding of the operating history of a nuclear reactor.
