Abstract
Separation and analysis of235U fission produced rare earth elements (REE) is described. Rare earth elements were separated using a high presure ion chromatographic separation where by each rare earth is isolated and individually detected. Detection is performed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP/MS) and solid scintillation beta counting. The resulting detection methods allow complete evaluation of all stable (non-radioactive) and many radioactive REE fission products. The two detection methods (ICP/MS and Beta) illustrate how mass selective and radiometric data can be used to provide complimentary information regarding the isotopic characterization of radioactive samples.
