Zusammenfassung:The history of uranium isotopic reference materials from JRC-Geel during the last 50 years is reviewed by presenting certification methods and relevant applications. The certified isotope ratios are traceable to the SI via gravimetrical preparation, either directly through gravimetrical mixing of highly enriched materials, or indirectly using existing gravimetrically prepared reference materials for calibration of mass spectrometers used for certification measurements. Due to developments of mass spectrometers and analytical methods, certification measurements have improved regarding precision, uncertainties and accuracy. This has led to a comprehensive set of uranium isotopic reference materials available for nuclear safety, security and the scientific community.
