This method was chosen for its non destructive nature. The analyte of interest was UB 2 . Alternative fuel sources for nuclear reactors are being investigated as additives or replacements for UO 2 [4]; UB 2 was chosen for this purpose. CeO 2 was used because it is a surrogate for UO 2 . No correlation was found between signal intensity and Eu doping concentration was found.en-USundergraduate student worksPoster
