The determination of 10B/11B isotope ratio and boron concentration in various watersamples using isotope dilution technique with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) was studied. The interferences on precision and accuracy in isotopic ratio determination by ICPMS such as memory effects, dead time, spectral overlap of 12C were investigated for the selection of optimum conditions. By the addition of certain amounts of enriched 10B into samples, the 10B/11B ratio was determined through ICP-MS signal of 10B and 11B. The detection limit for 10B and 11B was experimentally obtained as 0.26 µg/L and 0.92 µg/L, respectively. The ratios of 10B/11B in measured water samples varied in the ranged between 0.1905 and 0.2484 for different matrices. This method has been then applied for the determination of boron isotopic ratio in VVER-1000 reactor-type simulated primary coolant water and in some environmental water samples.

Precise tellurium (Te) isotope ratio measurement using mass spectrometry is a challenging task for many decades. In this paper, Te isotope ratio measurements using multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC–ICP–MS) in terrestrial Te standards have been reported. Newly developed Faraday cup with 1012 Ω resistor is used to measure low abundance 120Te, whereas the 1011 Ω resistor is used to measure other Te isotopes. The relative standard deviation obtained for Te isotope ratio measurement by Faraday cups of 120Te/128Te [0.002907(05)], 122Te/128Te [0.079646(10)], 123Te/128Te [0.027850(07)], 125Te/128Te [0.221988(09)], 126Te/128Te [0.592202(20)], and 130Te/128Te [1.076277(30)] were 0.140%, 0.014%, 0.026%, 0.005%, 0.004%, and 0.004%, respectively. The measured isotope ratio results are compared with previous results obtained by thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS), negative thermal ionization mass spectrometry (N–TIMS), and MC–ICP–MS, showing an improvement in the precision about one order of magnitude for 120Te/128Te ratio. The present study shows better precision for Te isotope ratios compared to earlier studies.
