Article Synopsis
- Plutonium research faces challenges due to strict safety protocols and limited access to suitable facilities, hindering studies on Pu-bearing compounds.
- This work introduces the use of double-walled cells (DWCs) as a safer alternative for conducting spectroscopic studies, specifically laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) on PuO pellets.
- The study successfully demonstrates the capabilities of LIBS and Raman spectroscopy to analyze elemental species, temperature estimates, and particulates from laser ablation, contributing to the field of nuclear forensics.
