Results from the Zurich sea water (ZSW) intercomparison study for U- and Pu-isotopes
Approximately 350L of sea water samples were collected to prepare a large volume (Zurich Sea Water, ZSW) intercomparison sample for 236U and other actinides. Here we report the results of the intercomparison study for U- and Pu-isotopes. ZSW was processed in six different chemistry labs and measured on five AMS systems and one MC-ICP-MS system, respectively. The analysis of the reported U-isotopic data shows that the scatter, indicated by the one sigma uncertainty for a single measurement, of the 236U/238U ratios and the 236, 238U-concentrations is 5 % and 3 %, respectively. A Chi-squared analysis shows that the external error (lab-scatter) is 1–2 % and 3 % for the 236, 238U-concentrations and the 236U/238U ratios, respectively.
The fact that ZSW has been characterized by many different (A)MS labs makes it a valuable internal standard for quality control for the analysis of anthropogenic U- and Pu-isotopes in seawater.
期刊介绍:
Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
