Nuclear Materials Characterization | EPMA, SIMS & APT Applications
Explore how EPMA, SIMS, and APT techniques help verify nuclear materials use, control fission products, and optimize fuel cycles for safety.
Whether one needs to report radioactivity levels and ratios, follow natural isotopic decays or those induced by man-made irradiation, or understand the chemistry dictating these reactions, a common point resides in the ability to observe, detect, image, probe, identify and quantify changes.
This key aspect called characterization is at the heart of CAMECA’s expertise.
Based on specific application examples, this brochure gives insight into how Electron Probe Microanalysis, Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry, and Atom Probe Tomography are used by nuclear scientists and engineers:
- Verifying the Peaceful Use of Nuclear Materials
- Controlling the Behavior of Fission Products
- Optimizing the Nuclear Fuel Cycle
- Securing Nuclear Waste Storage
- Improving Corrosion Resistance of Alloys
- Characterizing Irradiated Fuels
- Making Nuclear Energy Production Safer
