Exploring the application of SIMS for nuclear and radioactive materials with Anne-Laure Fauré, an experienced analytical chemistry researcher and Assistant Laboratory Manager at CEA-DAM.
During this webinar, she showcases why SIMS is perfectly suited to the detection and the characterization of micrometer size objects, thanks to its high sensitivity and lateral resolution imaging capabilities.
Two examples of SIMS application in the nuclear field were given:
- The isotopic measurement of uranium particles in the frame of nuclear safeguards.
- The elemental characterization of simulated radioactive particles and its contribution to the understanding of the mechanisms of particle formation following the Fukushima Daichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in 2011.
