Abstract
For the remote analysis of a next generation nuclear fuel material containing minor actinide (MA), we applied laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to uranium oxide (U3O8), which included a small amount of neodymium oxide (Nd2O3), as a simulated sample of MA. By using a deconvolution technique for the Nd spectra in U, we separated the complex, overlapped, and confused spectra and determined their actual intensities. As a result, a calibration curve with good linearity and a detection limit of less than 700 ppm were demonstrated.
