Abstract

A modified radiometric method for the determination of plutonium in irradiated nuclear fuel is described. The analysis consists of total plutonium alpha-activity, activity ratio238Pu:(239Pu+240Pu) and burnup determination. The error of plutonium determination is practically identical with that of a classical radiometric method. The method suggested is suitable for large sample series of the same type of irradiated nuclear fuel.
