MEASUREMENT OF RARE EARTH AND URANIUM ELEMENTS USING LASER-INDUCED BREAKDOWN SPECTROSCOPY (LIBS) IN AN AEROSOL SYSTEM FOR NUCLEAR SAFEGUARDS APPLICATIONS

The primary objective of this research is to develop an applied technology and provide an assessment for remotely measuring and analyzing the real time or near real time concentrations of used nuclear fuel (UNF) elements in electrorefiners (ER). Here, Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) in U...
