2. Isotopic analysis
see as well article
Determination of the relative abundances of isotopes present in a sample is useful in numerous fields. Small local variations in these isotopic ratios in fact provide valuable information of the nature and history of the sample. Isotopic analysis of elements plays a dominant role throughout the nuclear industry as, owing to their neutron properties, elements enriched in one of their isotopes are very often used (U, Pu, D, Li, B, etc.). Study of the isotopic composition of other elements (rare gases, Cs, Pu, etc.) produced in reactors supplies information on reactor operation. Substances enriched...
