Abstract

A laser based spectroscopic technology, named SCAR (Saturatedabsorption CAvity Ring-down), has been demonstrated for accurate radiocarbon (14C) determination in carbon dioxide. In particular, different materials from nuclear power plants, e.g., concrete and graphite, were burnt and the combustionproduced carbon dioxide was analyzed to asses the amount of 14C, a key species for nuclear decommissioning. The SCAR technology has demonstrated a performance equivalent or better to AMS and it is ready for further studies and deployment in nuclear waste management areas.
