57Co SOURCE EXCITED KXRF ANALYSIS OF U AND Pu CONCENTRATIONS IN PWR SPENT FUEL REPROCESSING SOLUTIONJin Liyun Huang Qingliang Yuan Hui Li Yun Zhu LiangWang Liyu Ding Xixiang Liu Chong(China Institute of Atomic Energy,P.O.Box275(88), Beijing 102413)ABSTRACTAn analysis system composed of 57Co source excited KXRF apparatus and HPGe detectormultichannel computer is developed.According to requirements of control analysis of PWR spent fuel reprocessing process,a nondestructive,rapid analysis method for U and Pu concentrations has been investigated.The range of determination is 0.5-200 g/L with precision (sr) of 5.0%-1.5%.The effect of solution medium composition on determination of concentrations of U and Pu can be ignored.The method is well suited to control or inline analyze concentrations of U and Pu in PWR spent fuel reprocessing process.If 57Co transmission source is applied simultaneously,the method can also be suited to material accounting of U and Pu for nuclear safeguards.Keywords PWR spent fuel U Pu Kseries Xray fluorescence(KXRF) Control analysis of nuclear process
