Abstract

A technique for isotopic submicrosample analysis of uranium by TIMS is presented. The heating pattern, used was modified in order to improve the precision for microsample analysis of SRM U-500 /NBS/ The technique was applied to submicrosample isotopic analysis of SRM U-150 /NBS/ and found satisfactory.
