Shielded EPMA can analyze highly radioactive materials such as fission products. It is commonly used to predict the behavior of nuclear fuel and irradiated materials in case of reactor accident.
Compared to other techniques commonly used for the analysis of nuclear materials, SIMS provides better sensitivity, dynamic range and depth resolution.
Offering excellent depth profiling capabilities for low concentration elements and high precision isotopic analyses, the IMS 7f-Auto is a powerful tool for analyzing nuclear glasses.
