Abstract

The method is designed for use on recycled uranium materials and is applicable to materials that will yield at least 100 mg of uranium. Typical analysis time is 24 to 30 hours. U-232 can be measured to a lower limit of detection of 1 ppb (U-235 basis).

Analytical laboratories method No. 4001 - automatic determination of U-235 wt% in a uranium matrix by gamma spectrometry

Technical Report

This method is designed to automatically measure the U-235 concentration of various uranium-containing matrices (e.g., UO/sub 3/, UF/sub 4/, U/sub 3/O/sub 8/, sump samples, UNH, residues, etc.). Analyses are performed using a computer controlled sample changer. The technique is applicable to samples ranging from 0.20 to 20.0 wt% U-235. A complete gamma spectrometric U-235 analysis can be performed in two hours, or less.
Analytical laboratories method No. 4017 - the radiometric nondestructive analysis of Uranium-235 in uranium tetrafluoride

Technical Report

This method permits the nondestructive measurement of U-235 in uranium tetrafluoride (UF/sub 4/) using a Ge(Li) gamma spectrometer. The method was evaluated for UF/sub 4/ in the 0.20 to 1.25 wt% U-235 concentration range, but it could be easily extended to higher U-235 concentrations by using the appropriate standard. A nondestructive U-235 measurement can be performed in about 20 minutes. No measurement interferences have been observed.

Analytical laboratories method No. 4015 - the radiometric determination of beta activity in recycled materials

Technical Report

This method is used to compare the activity of reactor recycle uranium materials (both by-products and end-products included) to that of an aged natural uranium (ANU) standard. Both fission products and radioactive decay products are included in the measurement. Decay product activity will continue to increase for about 7 months following purification of uranium. A measurement can normally be performed in 2-4 hours. The method is applicable to a lower limit of 0.1% of the activity of ANU. No upper limit has been established.
Analytical laboratories method No. 4016 - the radiometric determination of gamma activity in recycled materials

Technical Report

This method is used to compare the activity of reactor recycle uranium materials (both by-products and end-products included) to that of an aged natural uranium (ANU) standard. Both fission products and radioactive decay products are included in the measurement. A measurement can normally be accomplished in 2 to 4 hours. The method is applicable to a lower limit of 0.1% of the activity of ANU. No upper limit has been established.
Analytical laboratories method No. 4010 - the radiometric determination of thorium-230 in thorium matrices

Technical Report

The method is generally applicable to most thorium-bearing matrices. Amounts greater than 100 ppm of uranium and iron may cause interferences. The time required for a single analysis is 24-48 hours. The lower limit of detection for Th-230 is approximately 0.08 ppm; no maximum concentration that can be analyzed has been established.
