Si. Sinkov et al., OPTICAL-FIBER PHOTOACOUSTIC-SPECTROSCOPY IN A SINGLE-BEAM DOUBLE-CELLARRANGEMENT FOR ANALYSIS OF SOME ACTINIDE SPECIES IN NUCLEAR-FUEL REPROCESSING SOLUTIONS, Radiochemistry, 38(4), 1996, pp. 297-305
A laser-induced photoacoustic spectroscopy (LIPAS) system with a singl
e-beam double-cell layout is developed for remote analysis of actinide
species in solution. The spectrometer characteristics are tested with
uranium-containing solutions using a number of nonradioactive substit
utes for imitation of some absorption band maxima of Pu(III) and Pu(IV
). Potentialities of LIPAS technique are examined in analysis of Pu-si
mulating species in the 650-742 nm wave-length range in a synthetic di
ssolver solution containing high concentration of U(VI) and a variety
of nonradioactive fission products.
