ASTM C1428-18R23 - Standard Test Method for Isotopic Analysis of Uranium Hexafluoride by Single–Standard Gas Source Multiple Collector Mass Spectrometer Method

1.1 This test method is applicable to the isotopic analysis of uranium hexafluoride (UF₆) with ²³⁵U concentrations less than or equal to 5 % and  ²³⁴U,   ²³⁶U concentrations of 0.0002 to 0.1 %.

1.2 This test method may be applicable to the analysis of the entire range of  ²³⁵U isotopic compositions providing that adequate Certified Reference Materials (CRMs or traceable standards) are available.

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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
