Sychrotron radiation

Six plutonium containing particles stemming from soil (Marshall Island) were characterized by SIMS, SEM-EDX-WDX and sychrotron radiation by Jernstrom et al. AU the particles were identified as nuclear fuel fragments of exploded weapons components. Since they contained plutonium with a low °Pu/ Pu atomic ratio (less than 0.065), which corresponds to weapons grade plutonium or a detonation with low fission yield, the particles were identified as originating from the safety test and low yield tests conducted on Runit Island. ...
