We propose a rapid analysis method for Nd using triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS) for quick burn-up measurement. In the conventional method, Nd-148 is used as burn-up indicator, and some complicated separation processes are required to eliminate isobaric interference from Sm. In this study, we demonstrate the discrimination of Nd/Sm using ICP-MS/MS with reaction gas for rapid Nd analysis.
