RAPID: The Development and Application of a Hybrid High Pressure Ion Chromatography and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry Method for the Direct Analysis of Irradiated Materials
“…1–4 Automation has been increasingly explored in nuclear laboratories as a way of increasing sample throughput and minimizing personnel radiation exposure. 5 Our laboratory has placed an emphasis on automated and rapid analytical methods for analyzing trace elements in bulk uranium/thorium samples, 6–9 analyzing trace fission products in a variety of complex radiological matrices, 10–13 and separating U and Pu in environmental swipe samples. 14 Particle analysis methods, utilized in a host of nonproliferation and safeguards activities, are also being improved by automation.…”
An automated microextraction method coupled to an inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) was developed for the direct analysis of solid uranium particulates on the surface of cotton swipes....
