High-performance liquid chromatography and the use of /sup 138/La as a fission monitor have been examined for the determination of the number of fissions and burnup in (Th, U)O/sub 2/ fuels. The fission product /sup 139/La in a solution of irradiated fuel was separated on a reversed phase dynamically modified with 1-octanesulfonate, and the eluted metal ions were monitored by an 'on-line' postcolumn reaction system. The relative standard deviation of the peak heights for lanthanum in 13 fuel solutions over a 1 month period was 0.96%, and the agreement between the HPLC burnup results and those obtained by standard mass spectrometric techniques was within 0.1%; the largest source of uncertainty for the determination of the number of fissions was that associated with fission yield values. Other uses of this chromatographic system were also examined briefly. 24 references, 3 figures, 1 table.
