ASTM WK39214

(What is a Work Item? / How to Input to a Work Item)

Work Item: ASTM WK39214 - Revision of C1671 - 07 Standard Practice for Qualification and Acceptance of Boron Based Metallic Neutron Absorbers for Nuclear Criticality Control for Dry Cask Storage Systems and Transportation Packaging

Active Standard: C1671 - 07

Developed by Subcommittee: C26.03 | Committee C26 Home | Contact Staff Manager

1. Rationale

The areal density of 10B is a measured quantity and should not be statistically derived. Neutron absorbers should meet a minimum thickness and have a minimum measured 10B density. Acceptance testing should be based on a pass/fail criteria.
