摘要

Stable isotope taggants added to nuclear materials could be utilized as diagnostic nuclear forensics signatures; however, intentionally adding taggants is a relatively new and untested concept with respect to the nuclear fuel cycle. In this study, we added trace amounts of stable Mo and W isotope taggants to starting materials used to synthesize UO2 along a wet synthesis pathway. Successful incorporation and recovery of the Mo and W taggants was achieved in the UO2 product and all its precursors. This study demonstrates the efficacy of stable isotope tagging along a wet UO2 production pathway.
