Withdrawn Rationale:
This standard was withdrawn with no replacement due to lack of use and relevancy in the industry.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method is a quantitative method used to determine technetium-99 (99Tc) in uranium hexafluoride (UF 6) by liquid scintillation counting.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
