用于铀微粒年龄测量的铀钍氧化物混合微粒SIMS测量研究

放射性材料的年龄信息是一项重要的溯源指纹特征,铀微粒年龄测量研究对于核取证技术应用具有重要意义。本工作通过使用二次离子质谱（SIMS）、电感耦合等离子体质谱（ICP-MS）测量自制单分散铀钍氧化物混合微粒获得了单个微米级微粒中铀钍比值的相对灵敏度因子（RSF_Th/U）,结合扫描电子显微镜（SEM）等常规分析技术,确定了最佳测量条件,探索了微米级铀钍混合微粒的SIMS测量方法。测量结果表明,对于粒径为2~3 μm的混合微粒,不同微粒间²³²Th/²³⁸U比值的相对标准偏差小于3%(n=12),平均RSF_Th/U为1.259±0.032。通过测量年龄已知的铀同位素固体标准物质CRM970对RSF_Th/U进行了验证。结果表明,对于粒径为5~10 μm的CRM970铀粉末样品,年龄测量结果准确,相对标准偏差为3%(n=16)。该方法受干扰信号影响较小,测量结果稳定,可用于微米级铀微粒年龄的测量。

本文叙述了用厚源α计数技术测定TL和ESR年代中钍系和铀系年剂量的原理和方法。该方法主要优点是测定α年剂量时,可将计数率直接代入生龄公式,不需要计算钍、铀含量和剂量率转换因子。但在估算β和γ年剂量时,必须假定样品中的钍、铀放射性是相同的,或者用“对”技术来确定钍、铀含量。

钍是一种潜在的核燃料。据国际原子能机构估计,目前已探明有开采价值的钍资源大致和铀相等。钍的充分利用可以大大丰富核能资源,增加核燃料储备。 钍铀核燃料循环的一个主要技术问题是钍在反应堆中受中子照射后,除生成有用的核燃料~(233)U外,还会产生~(232)U,一般化学方法不能使它与~(233)U分开。由于~(232)U的衰变子体放出能量
