Standard Test Method for Isotopic Analysis of Uranium Hexafluoride by Double-Standard Multi-Collector Gas Mass Spectrometer
用双标准多收集器气体质谱仪进行六氟化铀同位素分析的标准试验方法
1.1
This test method covers a quantitative test method applicable to determining the mass percent of uranium isotopes in uranium hexafluoride (UF
6
) samples. This method as described is for concentrations of
235
U between 0.1 and 10 mass %, and
234
U and
236
U between 0.0001 and 0.1 mass %.
1.2
This test method is for laboratory analysis by a gas mass spectrometer with a multi-collector.
1.3
This standard complements Test Methods
C761
, the double-standard method for gas mass spectrometers using a single collector, by providing a method for spectrometers using a multi-collector.
1.4
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5
This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
====== Significance And Use ======
5.1
Uranium hexafluoride used to produce nuclear-reactor fuel must meet certain criteria for its isotopic composition. This test method may be used to help determine if sample materials meet the criteria described in Specifications
C787
and
C996
.
