Progress in analytical chemistry associated with atomic energy is reviewed with particular emphasis on the activity of the Committee on Analytical Chemistry of Nuclear Fuels and Reactor Materials, Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute.
Analytical methods for the determination of impurities and of constituents contained in nuclear fuels such as uranium metal, uranium oxide and uranium carbides as well as in reactor materials such as zircaloy, sodium and high temperature alloy were examined through comparison of the analytical results obtained by different laboratories. The Committee also prepared reference samples of uranium, zircaloy and high temperature alloys.
