Certification of Uranium Isotope Amount Ratios in a Suite of Uranium Ore Concentrate Certified Reference Materials
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this study, data from thirteen laboratories from around the world are presented for a successful certification of uranium isotope ratios in uranium ore concentrate (UOC) certified reference materials from the National Research Council Canada. Different mass spectrometric measurement principles (including SF‐ICP‐MS, quadruple ICP‐MS, TIMS, MC‐ICP‐MS, SIMS and AMS) and measurement procedures were employed. In general, data from all sources exhibit good consistency with TIMS and MC‐ICP‐MS showing superior performance. The three candidate UOC CRMs (UCLO‐1, UCHI‐1 and UPER‐1) have natural uranium isotope ratios with certified values of 0.5304(7) × 10 −4 , 0.5475(2) × 10 −4 and 0.5361(4) × 10 −4 for n ( 234 U)/ n ( 238 U) and 0.007 2563(13), 0.007 2563(10) and 0.007 2542(11) for n ( 235 U)/ n ( 238 U), respectively, with expanded uncertainty ( k = 2) applicable to the last digit of the value given in the parentheses. Information values for n ( 236 U)/ n ( 238 U) in these three CRMs, measured by AMS, are also provided: 10 × 10 −12 , 200 × 10 −12 and 22 × 10 −12 . The uncertainties of the proposed certified values of uranium isotope ratios in UOC CRMs are superior to available reference materials, and the values of n ( 234 U)/ n ( 238 U) and n ( 236 U)/ n ( 238 U) show significant variation among the three CRMs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
