Determination of solubility in nitric acid of plutonium in unirradiated mixed oxide fuel pellets (U, Pu) O2 (ISO 21483:2013)

ISO 21483:2013 specifies an analytical method for determining the solubility in nitric acid of plutonium in pellets of unirradiated mixed oxide fuel (light-water reactor fuels). The results provide information about the expected dissolution behaviour of irradiated pellets under industrial reprocessing conditions. In this aspect, the specific conditions (e.g. time of the test) may vary depending upon the need to match to a specific reprocessor's requirements. The test is aimed at determining solubility under equilibrium conditions rather than the kinetics of dissolution and hence allows for a second dissolution period.

Bestimmung der Löslichkeit in Salpetersäure von Plutonium in unbestrahlten (U, Pu) O2‑Mischoxid-Pellets (ISO 21483:2013)

Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Analyseverfahren zur Bestimmung der Löslichkeit in Salpetersäure von Plutonium in unbestrahlten Mischoxid-Pellets (Leichtwasserreaktorbrennstoff) fest. Die Ergebnisse liefern Informationen über das erwartete Löslichkeitsverhalten von bestrahlten Pellets unter industriellen Wiederaufbereitungsbedingungen. In diesem Bereich dürfen die spezifischen Bedingungen (z. B. die Zeitspanne der Prüfung) variieren, abhängig davon, ob die spezifischen Anforderungen des Aufbereiters erfüllt werden müssen. Die Prüfung zielt darauf ab, die Löslichkeit unter Gleichgewichtsbedingungen statt der Kinetik der Auflösung zu bestimmen, wodurch sie eine zweite Auflösungsperiode ermöglicht.

Détermination de la solubilité dans I'acide nitrique du plutonium des pastilles (U, Pu) O2 de combustibles d'oxydes mixtes non irradiés (ISO 21483:2013)

L'ISO 21483:2013 spécifie une méthode analytique permettant de déterminer la solubilité dans l'acide nitrique du plutonium des pastilles de combustibles d'oxydes mixtes non irradiés (combustibles de réacteurs à eau légère). Les résultats obtenus renseignent sur le comportement à la dissolution des pastilles irradiées qui peut être attendu dans des conditions de retraitement industriel. De ce point de vue, les conditions spécifiques (par exemple la durée de l'essai) peuvent varier en fonction du besoin de s'adapter aux exigences d'une usine de retraitement spécifique. L'essai vise à déterminer la solubilité dans des conditions d'équilibre plutôt que la cinétique de dissolution et il autorise donc une seconde période de dissolution.

Ugotavljanje topnosti plutonija v dušikovi kislini v neobsevanih mešanooksidnih gorivnih peletih (U, Pu) O2 (ISO 21483:2013)

Standard ISO 21483:2013 določa analitično metodo za ugotavljanje topnosti plutonija v dušikovi kislini v neobsevanih mešanooksidnih gorivnih peletih (na osnovi lahkovodnih reaktorskih goriv). Rezultati podajajo informacije o pričakovani topnosti obsevanih peletov v industrijskih pogojih ponovne obdelave. S tega vidika se določeni pogoji (npr. čas preizkusa) lahko razlikujejo glede na potrebo po upoštevanju zahtev določenega izvajalca ponovne obdelave. Namen preskusa ni določanje kinetike topnosti, temveč topnosti v uravnoteženih pogojih, tako da omogoča drug čas raztopitve.
