Powder Characterization Inter-Comparison
We performed qualitative and quantitative image analysis on SEM images for 5 uranium samples. Qualitative assessment was completed using the lexicon of Tamasi et al. 2017 on a subset of images from each sample to provide an overall morphological profile of each material. Quantitative analysis of the particles was done using the Morphological Analysis for Materials Attribution, or MAMA, software. We performed particle analysis primarily on samples labeled U Mo, U Si, and UO 2 . Samples labeled ADU and DU Ox were not prioritized for quantitative analysis due to staffing and time it took to segment these images. Two lab analysts worked on this effort, one focusing on the qualitative assessment and the other focusing on the quantitative assessment.
