N2 - RAPID (Rapid Analysis of Post-Irradiation Debris) is an automated online separation–direct analysis method developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to measure both radioactive and stable fission isotopes by mass. Developed to measure the concentration and isotopic composition of over 40 elements down to the femtogram level, RAPID demonstrates the sensitivity, stability, and precision required to achieve accurate, low-level analyses of elements of non-natural origin. The application of the RAPID method to silica- and soil-based matrices achieved complete matrix exclusion and direct online analysis of the elementally separated analytes, yielding precise isotopic compositions. When combined with isotope dilution, this approach yielded elemental concentrations with low uncertainties, providing a rapid analytical method that encompasses group I and II metals, transition metals, refractory metals, platinum group metals, lanthanides, and actinides. The robustness, sensitivity, reproducibility, and numerous applications to a number of fields in nuclear measurements have been confirmed.
