“…In Pu bearing fuels, alpha autoradiography or gamma autoradiography is used for monitoring the inhomogeneous distribution of Pu in MOX fuel pellets. 5,6,13 But these techniques are used mainly to locate and identify the a or g emitting radioisotopes. 13 Alpha autoradiography can be used for quantitative estimation of ThO 2 and UO 2 content in sintered MOX pellets, but due to the low specic alpha activity of natural U and Th, getting sufficient alpha track density (109 tracks per cm 2 ) may require up to 10 days of lm exposure.…”

Further, chemical treatment is required to obtain alpha auto-radiography lm, which is an equally timeconsuming process.…”
