Abstract

A project to determine the neutron-capture cross section of long lived fission products and minor actinides has been started by using a beam-line at Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). One of the target nuclides is 93Zr, which was prepared in Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Qualitative and quantitative analyses on the sample were performed at Kyoto University. The isotopic composition of mZr (m 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, and 96) was precisely determined by multi-collector thermal ionization mass spectrometry with <0.1 % of 2σ uncertainty. The atomic abundance of 93Zr in the sample was determined to be 18.86 ± 0.05 %.
