High-precision isotope ratio measurements of uranium and plutonium in the environment

A high-precision mass spectrometry method has been developed to measure 240Pu/239Pu at low concentrations in environmental samples. A reproducibility of <1% for sample sizes of > 0.5pg has been achieved using a highly sensitive and precise multi-collector ICP-mass spectrometer (Micromass IsoPr...
