Determination of nitrogen and oxygen in uranium metal by inert-gas fusion
An improved analytical method has been developed using inert-gas fusion for determining the nitrogen and the oxygen contents of uranium metal. The analytical method is applicable to concentrations of nitrogen and oxygen ranging from 1 microgram per gram to 1000 micrograms per gram for each gas. In uranium metal, the limit of error for a single determination at the 95%-confidence level, at the 12-micrograms-per-gram-nitrogen level, is +-3 micrograms per gram nitrogen and, at the 20-micrograms-per-gram-oxygen level, is +-3 micrograms per gram oxygen. Nitrogen and oxygen concentrations are determined by using a nitrogen-oxygen determinator.
