The Use of Isotopic Correlations in Verification (Safeguards Application),

Abstract

Previous work has shown the potential value of heavy element isotopic correlations to international safeguards. Potential applications are centered on that part of the fuel cycle which extends from the output of fuel fabrication through the input to reprocessing. The paper addresses two specific applications: Verification of the plutonium to uranium ratio of spent low enriched uranium fuels; Confirmation of information which is stated about the spent fuels prior to dissolution at reprocessing, including tests for substitution.
