ALS Scandinavia offers uranium isotope analysis of ²³⁴U, ²³⁵U, ²³⁶U and ²³⁸U. Analysis of uranium isotope ratios is useful in a variety of fields including:

• Enrichment control in the nuclear industry
• Pollution source tracing
• Exposure source tracing

The analysis of uranium (U) isotopes can be carried out by two techniques, ICP-SFMS (high resolution ICP-MS) and MC-ICP-SFMS (multicollector ICP-SFMS). ALS Scandinavia has developed a matrix separation method that can be applied on prior to analysis for significantly improved measurement uncertainty.

The nuclides U-238 and U-234 are listed in the EU Directive 2013&51/EURATOM. The purpose of this directive is protecting the general public by analysis of radioactive substances intended for human consumption. ALS offers uranium isotope analysis of water.

Research - Uranium isotope analysis

Our isotope research is done in close co-operation with several external institutions, particularly the Divisions of Applied Geology and Chemistry at Luleå University of Technology.
