Determination of uranium content in samples coming from the nuclear fuel cycle by L-absorption edge spectrometry (ISO 24459:2021)

This document specifies a method for the determination of uranium concentrations in nitric acid or TBP-DILUANT (for example TBP-kerosene) solutions coming from the nuclear fuel cycle.
The method is applicable
— for process control of solutions, free of suspension, which contain between 10 g/l to 300 g/l uranium,
and
— for high accuracy purposes (Safeguards) to nitric acid solutions, free of suspension, which contain
between 100 g/l and 220 g/l uranium.

Ugotavljanje vsebnosti urana v vzorcih iz jedrskega gorivnega cikla z L-absorpcijsko robno spektrometrijo (ISO 24459:2021)

Ta dokument določa metodo za ugotavljanje vsebnosti urana v raztopini dušikove kisline ali TBP-DILUANT (na primer TBP-kerozin) iz jedrskega gorivnega cikla.
Metoda se uporablja
– za procesni nadzor raztopin brez suspenzije, ki vsebujejo med 10 g/l in 300 g/l urana,
in
– za namene visoke stopnje natančnosti (varovala) za raztopine dušikove kisline brez suspenzije, ki vsebujejo
med 100 g/l in 220 g/l urana.
