Laser Fluorescence Analysis of Natural Isotopic Abundance Uranium Oxide Samples (Nuclear Noncompliance Verification, PNNL Scope #48379)


EMSL Project ID
15191

Abstract

We propose to fund Zheming Wang with project funds to analyze 13 50-mg specimens of uranium oxide (at natural isotopic abundance) using time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy. Goal of the research is to determine whether this technique has useful forensic value in distinguishing among the different specimens.
