英文摘要 | The spatial distribution of radiation within trinitite thin sections have been mapped using alpha track radiography and beta autoradiography in combination with optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Alpha and beta maps have identified areas of higher activity, and these are concentrated predominantly within the surficial glassy component of trinitite. Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analyses conducted at high spatial resolution yield weighted average U-235/U-238 and Pu-240/Pu-239 ratios of 0.00718 +/- A 0.00018 (2 sigma) and 0.0208 +/- A 0.0012 (2 sigma), respectively, and also reveal the presence of some fission (Cs-137) and activation products (Eu-152,Eu-154). The LA-ICP-MS results indicate positive correlations between Pu ion signal intensities and abundances of Fe, Ca, U and Cs-137. These trends suggest that Pu in trinitite is associated with remnants of certain chemical components from the device and surrounding Trinity test-related structures at ground zero. In contrast, negative correlations between Pu ion signals and SiO2 and K2O contents were observed within the glassy matrix of trinitite. This LA-ICP-MS result was corroborated by combined back-scattered electron imaging and alpha radiography, and indicates that Pu was not incorporated into unmelted crystalline grains of precursor minerals (i.e., quartz-SiO2 and K-feldspar-KAlSi3O8) present within the desert sand at the Trinity site. The results from this study indicate that the device-related radionuclides were preferentially incorporated into the glassy matrix in trinitite. |
