Preparation of Homogeneous Thorium Oxide Powders for Development of Certified Reference Materials

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In view of the growing importance of Thorium Oxide (ThO2) as a fuel in nuclear power reactors, it is essential to develop Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) for trace level assay of ThO2 in order to validate analytical methods and also to assess the performance of an individual chemical laboratory. The present paper discusses the preparation of four batches of homogeneous Thorium Oxide (ThO2) powders on kilogram levels including a batch of ThO2 and Natural UO2 mixed oxide with varying amounts of impurities and also developing them as CRMs based on round robin tests.
