THE VOLUMETRIC DETERMINATION OF URANIUM IN ZIRCALLOY-URANIUM ALLOYS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4241648

The U--Zircaloy alloy is dissolved in HF-HNO/sub 3/ and the fluoride is complexed with Al. The U is extracted into TBP in kerosene. After back- extraction and reduction to U/sup 4+/, the U is titrated with standard K/sub 2/ Cr.syb 2/O/sub 7/. Th e method is suitable for alloys with U contents of 2 to 6%, and it has a precision of sintering time 0.5% at the 95% confidence level. (T.R.H.)
