AbstractAbstract
[en] Sampling is a significant source of error in the chemical assay of plutonium. A calorimetric watts/gram of sample (W/g) test on pre-weighed plutonium material is used routinely at Mound to demonstrate material homogeneity, hence, sample representativeness. A prior demonstration of sample representativeness can result in fewer samples submitted for chemical analysis. Combining the W/g test with total dissolution of pre-weighed samples results in accurate plutonium assay. The strategy for applying the W/g test to nonhomogeneous materials needs to be further investigated. 4 tables
