Times Cited Count:8 Percentile:59.20(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)New methodology for a simultaneous isotope speciation of various Pu isotopes without complicated isobaric interferences is developed by using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In analyzing ICP tandem MS (ICP-MS/MS), CO gas reactions in a dynamic reaction cell (DRC) almost eliminated the background noise intensity produced by isobaric interference from isotopes originating from actinides such as Am, Cm, and U at the locations (m/z) of significant Pu isotopes (

Since the hardness of fuel debris containing boride from BC pellet in control rod is estimated to be two times higher as that of oxide, such as UO
and ZrO
, it is necessary to select the efficient and appropriate operation for removal of fuel debris formed in the severe accident of nuclear power plants. We focused on the characteristics of LIBS, an innovative rapid chemical in-situ analysis technology that enables simultaneous detection of B, O, and other metal elements in fuel debris. Simulated solidified melt specimens were obtained in the plasma heating tests (CMMR-0/-2, performed by JAEA) of simulated fuel assembly (ZrO
is used to simulated UO
pellet, other materials such as stainless steel, B
C are same as fuel assembly). The LIBS signals of (B/O)/Zr ratio showed good linear relationship with Vickers hardness. This technique can be also applied as in-situ assessment tool for elemental composition and Vickers hardness of metal-oxide-boride materials.

Actinides have a significant radiotoxicity risk of internal exposure to human body due to their emission of high energy alpha particle. An analysis of the actinides is important for safe management of nuclear power plants and radioactive wastes. A traditional method using alpha spectrometry needs a time-consuming and complicated multi-step pretreatment process. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) can potentially realize rapid and simple analytical method by reducing the pretreatment process through combining various automatic chemical separation systems. Such a combination including a hyphenation of chemical instrument and pretreatment system can also be achieved to improve applicability of ICP-MS for simultaneous determination of actinides. In this study, we developed an automatic analytical system of online solid-phase extraction (SPE)-ICP-MS equipped with multi-separation steps of SPE for simultaneous determination of actinides (Th, U, Pu, and Am).

Determination of actinides (e.g., Th, U, Np, Pu, Am, Cm) in contaminated water and nuclear waste is important for decommissioning the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. However, traditional radiochemical analysis needs a time-consuming process and large effort. ICP-MS has the potential of rapid determination by simultaneous detection of actinides, while many isobaric interferences prevent the quantification. In this study, we developed an automatic analysis method using ICP-MS incorporating cascade separation steps (solid phase separation and gas phase reaction in the dynamic reaction cell) to simultaneously determine actinides.
