THE DETERMINATION OF 234-URANIUM IN ENRICHED URANIUM HEXAFLUORIDE, TETRAFLUORIDE AND OXIDE BY AN ALPHA-COUNTING TECHNIQUE
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4007425
The sample is converted to a nitrate solution and, after suitable dilution, an aliquot is evaporated to dryness on a counting tray. The U/sup 234/ content is calculated from the alpha activity of the residue after corrections have been applied for the activity of the other uranium isotopes present. The method is applicable to the determination of U/sup 233/ in UF/sub 6/, UF/sub 4/, and UO/sub 2/. The presence of alpha emitters other than uranium will contribute to the result. The method as written can be applied to samples containing from 0.1 to 100% U/sup 234/. The method is quantitative wita a coefficient of variation of plus or minus 1% over the concentration range.
