Abstract

Masses of noble metal and iodine nuclides in the metallic noble metal phase extracted from spent fuel are measured using instrumental neutron activation analysis. Nuclide presence is predicted using fission yield analysis, and radionuclides are identified and the masses quantified using neutron activation analysis. The nuclide compositions of noble metal phase derived from two dissolution methods, UO₂ fuel dissolved in nitric acid and UO₂ fuel dissolved in ammonium-carbonate and hydrogen-peroxide solution, are compared.
