Device for the determination of concentrations of fissile and/or fertile materials by means of x-ray fluorescence spectrometry

摘要

In analyzing fissile and/or fertile materials in the thorium, uranium, neptunium, plutonium, americium and curium group, time and accuracy are significant factors. An automated system for rapidly analyzing these materials includes: sample preparation device in which aliquots of sample are weighed and mixed with known amounts of solution; X-ray fluorescence spectrometer; and, a central control system for controlling the operation and analyzing the data.
