Analysis of the uranyl nitrate solution fuel is carried out at the analytical laboratory of NUCEF (Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Research Facility), which provides essential data for operation of STACY (Static Experiment Critical Facility), TRACY (Transient Experiment Critical Facility) and the fuel treatment system. Analyzed in FY 2007 were uranyl nitrate solution fuel samples taken before and after experiments of STACY and TRACY, samples for the preparation and pulification of uranyl nitrate solution fuel in the fuel treatment system and samples for nuclear material accountancy purpose. The total number of the samples analyzed in FY 2007 was 143. This report summarizes work related to the analysis and management of the analytical laboratory in the FY 2007.
