Laser Ablation--Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry: Analysis of Hanford High-Level Waste Materials

Abstract

Reports on the results of laser ablation sampling with Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP/MS) in the Hot Cell facility at Hanford's 222-S lab which indicate that this method can be used to rapidly characterize raw radioactive tank sludge materials. Describes the deployed system configuration and presents data which illustrates present qualitative and quantitative capabilities of the system.
