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

Technical Report · Tue Mar 03 04:00:00 EST 1987

OSTI ID:7003994

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.
