significance And Use:
3.1 Aluminum oxide pellets are used in a reactor core as filler or spacers within fuel, burnable poison, or control rods. In order to be suitable for this purpose, the material must meet certain... View More
scope:
1.1 These test methods cover procedures for the chemical, mass spectrometric, and spectrochemical analysis of nuclear-grade aluminum oxide and aluminum oxide-boron carbide composite pellets to determine compliance with specifications.
1.2 The analytical procedures appear in the following order:
| Sections | |
| Boron by Titrimetry and ICP OES | 7 to 16 |
| Separation of Boron for Mass Spectrometry | 17 to 22 |
| Isotopic Composition by Mass Spectrometry | 23 to 26 |
| Separation of Halides by Pyrohydrolysis | 27 to 30 |
| Chloride and Fluoride by Ion-Selective Electrode | 31 to 33 |
| Chloride, Bromide, and Iodide by Amperometric Microtitrimetry | 34 to 36 |
| Trace Elements by Emission Spectroscopy | 37 to 49 |
