4 Introduction: Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was used to analyze a mixed actinide fuel pellet containing 75% UO 2 / 20% PuO 2 / 3% AmO 2 / 2% NpO 2. The preliminary data shown here is the first report of LIBS analysis of a mixed actinide fuel pellet, to the authors knowledge. The LIBS spectral data was acquired in a plutonium facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory where the sample was contained within a glove box. The initial installation of the glove box was not intended for complete ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS) and near infrared (NIR) transmission, therefore the LIBS spectrum is truncated in the UV and NIR regions due to the optical transmission of the window port and filters that were installed. The optical collection of the emission from the LIBS plasma will be optimized in the future. However, the preliminary LIBS data acquired is worth reporting due to the uniqueness of the sample and spectral data. The analysis of several actinides in the presence of each other is an important feature of this analysis since traditional methods must chemically separate uranium, plutonium, neptunium, and americium prior to analysis. Due to the historic nature of the sample fuel pellet analyzed, the provided sample composition of 75% UO 2 / 20% PuO 2 / 3% AmO 2 / 2% NpO 2 cannot be confirm without further analytical processing. Uranium, plutonium, and americium emission lines were abundant and easily assigned while neptunium was more difficult to identify. There may be several reasons for this observation, other than knowing the exact sample composition of the fuel pellet. First, the atomic emission wavelength resources for neptunium are limited and such techniques as hollow cathode discharge lamp have different dynamics than the plasma used in LIBS which results in different emission spectra. Secondly, due to the complex sample of four actinide elements, which all have very dense electronic energy levels, there may be reactions and interactions occurring within the plasma, such as collisional energy transfer, that might be a factor in the reduction in neptunium emission lines. Neptunium has to be analyzed alone using LIBS to further understand the dynamics that may be occurring in the plasma of the mixed actinide fuel pellet sample. The LIBS data suggests that the emission spectrum for the mixed actinide fuel pellet is not simply the sum of the emission spectra of the pure samples but is dependent on the species present in the plasma and the interactions and reactions that occur within the plasma. Finally, many of the neptunium lines are in the near infrared region which is drastically reduced in intensity by the current optical setup and possibly the sensitivity of the emission detector in the spectral region. Once the optics are replaced and the optical collection system is modified and optimized, the probability of observing emission lines for neptunium might be increased significantly. The mixed actinide fuel pellet was analyzed under the experimental conditions listed in Table 1. The LIBS spectra of the fuel pellet are shown in Figures The spectra are labeled with the observed wavelength and atomic species (both neutral (I) and ionic (II)). Table 2 is a complete list of the observed and literature based emission wavelengths. The literature wavelengths have references including NIST Atomic Spectra Database (NIST) [1], B.A. Palmer et al. An Atlas of Uranium Emission Intensities in a Hollow Cathode Discharge taken at the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) [2], R.L. Kurucz 1995 Atomic Line Data from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) [3], J. Blaise et al. The Atomic Spectrum of Plutonium from Argonne National Laboratory (BFG) [4], and M. Fred and F.S. Tomkins, Preliminary Term Analysis of Am I and Am II Spectra (FT) [5]. The dash ( ) shown under Ionic State 1

5 indicates that the ionic state of the transition was not available. In the spectra, the dash ( ) is replaced with a question mark (?). Peaks that are not assigned are most likely real features and not noise but cannot be confidently assigned to a transition without further investigation. Several peaks have multiple assignments due to limited resolution of the spectrometer used (20,000, λ/δλ) and without the availability, at this point in time, of pure PuO 2, AmO 2, and NpO 2 to confirm the identity of the peaks. A different spectrometer was used in the plutonium facility to collect the mixed actinide fuel pellet data (Echelle 3000) than the DUO 2, ThO 2 and uranium ore previously reported [6 8] (Echelle 4000) which accounts for the slight shift in the observed wavelength of the uranium emission lines. Experimental: The LIBS spectra were obtained by focusing the output from a Nd:YAG laser beam, operating at 20 Hz, onto the surface of a mixed actinide fuel pellet, a cylindrical rod approximately 3 mm in length and 1.5 mm in diameter, containing 75% UO 2 / 20% PuO 2 / 3% AmO 2 / 2% NpO 2. The average of 200 spectra is presented here. The measurement parameters are listed in Table 1.
