    Significance and Use

    5.1 The test method is capable of measuring uranium isotopic abundances of 234U, 235U,  236U and 238U as required by Specifications C787 and C996.

    1. Scope

    1.1 This test method covers the isotopic abundance analysis of 234U, 235U, 236 U and 238U in samples of hydrolysed uranium hexafluoride (UF6) by inductively coupled plasma source, multicollector, mass spectrometry (ICP-MC-MS). The method applies to material with  235U abundance in the range of 0.2 to 6 % mass. This test method is also described in ASTM STP 1344.

    1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

    1.3 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.
