Determination of oxygen in mixed uranium-plutonium carbide fuels

Description

Determination of oxygen in mixed uranium-plutonium carbide fuels is made by inert gas fusion-coulometry. To minimize oxygen contamination during sample preparation, the sample is crushed, weighted and sealed air-tight in a platinum capsule in an argon gas atmosphere glove box. The true oxygen content is estimated by subtracting the oxygen contamination from the oxygen determined. Routine analysis of 32 samples of mixed uranium-plutonium carbides is performed with a coefficient of variation of 1.6%. (author)
