Abstract Fission product Sr, Mo, and Ru isotopes in six 10-μm particles of spent fuel from a
pressurized water reactor were analyzed by resonance ionization mass spectrometry (RIMS) …

Ruthenium isotopes produced by fission in nuclear materials could be valuable signatures
for nuclear verification or non-proliferation monitoring. In this study, ruthenium (Ru), uranium …

Microscopic fuel fragments, so-called “hot particles”, were released during the 1986 accident
at the Chornobyl nuclear powerplant and continue to contaminate the exclusion zone in …

The aim of this work is to study the properties of nanostructured (1− x) ZrO2− xCeO2
composite ceramics, depending on the content of oxide components, as well as to establish …

While resonance ionization mass spectrometry (RIMS) has demonstrated utility in measuring
isotopic compositions of elements in complex matrices without the need for chemical …

We developed a Zr two-photon resonance ionization scheme with a high useful yield of 6.3
(5)%. This scheme utilizes the known intermediate energy level at 26443.88 cm− 1 and a …

Fission gas isotopic compositions are sensitive to a variety of reactor operating parameters
that include the neutron flux, neutron fluence at different neutron energies, and operating …

This study validates and improves the Cm radiochronometry method developed to
determine the model discharge date of nuclear spent fuels based on a three isotopes …
