A mobile mass spectrometry laboratory for isotopic ratio measurements of uranium and plutonium

A modified quadrupole mass spectrometer is housed in a van that serves as a mobile laboratory to provide on-site determinations of isotopic ratios and concentrations of uranium and plutonium. Each element can be determined at 1–3 ng levels with precisions of 1–2%.
