Atom percent fission in uranium and plutonium fuel (mass spectrometric method)
Creators
Description
The method covers the determination of the heavy element atom percent fission in irradiated uranium (U) fuel with initial plutonium (Pu) content from 0 to 50% from isotopic analyses of the fuel before and after irradiation. The method specifies the computational procedures for handling mass spectrometric analyses. Chemical separation procedures and mass spectrometer operation procedures are specified in ASTM Method E 267. The method is applicable to thermal-reactor U and Pu fuels but does not apply to fuels containing thorium or U-233 before irradiation
