Problems solved by technology

The calculation process of this method is relatively complicated, and it needs to record the coordinates of three positioning points and particles before and after conversion (that is, in different coordinate systems). There are many steps, and it takes a long time (it takes 30 minutes to complete a particle positioning process), and the efficiency is low.
In addition, the positioning accuracy of this method is poor, and there is usually a deviation of more than ten μm after coordinate transformation

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of monitoring of nuclear technology, and discloses a method for measuring the isotope ratio of uranium in a single particle. The method comprises the following steps: firstly seeking a uranium-containing particle by using a scanning electron microscope, using a micro-operation system to transfer the uranium-containing particle to a conductive adhesive with a marked metal mesh on the surface, positioning and fixing the uranium-containing particle, and then analyzing the isotope ratio by using a laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The method has the advantages of simple and quick pre-treatment method, simplified analysis flow, and high analysis precision which can reach to 1%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear technology monitoring, and in particular relates to a method for measuring the uranium isotope ratio in a single particle. Background technique [0002] Any nuclear production and nuclear experiment activities, regardless of their protective measures, will leave traces in the corresponding environment. By collecting environmental samples in or around nuclear facilities for particle isotope analysis, important nuclear activities near the sampling point can be obtained information. Therefore, particle isotope analysis is one of the important technical methods of nuclear technology monitoring, and provides an effective way to determine undeclared nuclear materials or nuclear activities. The technology enhances the ability to detect undeclared nuclear activities and strengthens the effectiveness of the safeguards system. In addition, particle isotope analysis technology also has good application pro...
