Analytical laboratories method No. 6003 - determination of wt% U-235 in uranium hexafluoride (UF/sub 6/) using gas mass spectrometry

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7031358

This method is applicable for determining concentrations of U-235 up to 10.0 wt%, provided appropriate standards are used. All samples must first be converted to UF/sub 6/. The approximate U-235 concentration of the sample to be analyzed must be known so the appropriate UF/sub 6/ standards can be chosen for the analysis. Twelve minutes are required for one sample analysis.
