Determination of Natural and Depleted Uranium in Urine at the ppt Level: An Interlaboratory Analytical Exercise

Abstract

An analytical exercise was initiated in order to determine those analytical procedures with the capacity to measure uranium isotope ratios (238U/235U) in urine samples containing less that 1 micro g uranium U/L urine. A host laboratory was tasked with the preparation of six sets (12 samples per set) of synthetic urine samples spiked with varying amounts of natural and depleted (0.2% 235U) uranium.
