Description

Mica sheets are placed over thin sections, irradiated in a nuclear reactor, and examined under microscopy to identify areas of elevated uranium concentration through fission track density patterns. This method can detect uranium below SEM-EDS detection limits.

Typical Equipment

  • mica sheets
  • nuclear research reactor
  • Zeiss model 472190-000/11 microscope
  • Epson Perfection V800 Photo scanner

Output Measurements

  • fission track density maps
  • uranium concentration locations
