Abstract:
The isotopic abundance and mass fraction of the fission product
148Nd in the irradiated nuclear fuel were measured with ID-MC-ICPMS. The stability of mass spectrometry instrument was tested using two kinds of standard materials and the difference of two correction factors was less than 0.001%. The mass fraction of enriched isotope
144Nd was determined by using the high pure natural neodymium as the spike. Then the mass fraction of
148Nd in the irradiated nuclear fuel was determined by the certified enriched
144Nd as the spike. The isotopic abundance and mass fraction of
148Nd in the fission products is 0.088 7±0.001 2 and (4.65±004) ng/g respectively.
