Description of ASTM-C759 2010

ASTM C759 - 10

Standard Test Methods for Chemical, Mass Spectrometric, Spectrochemical, Nuclear, and Radiochemical Analysis of Nuclear-Grade Plutonium Nitrate Solutions

Active Standard ASTM C759 | Developed by Subcommittee: C26.05

Book of Standards Volume: 12.01




ASTM C759

Significance and Use

These test methods are designed to show whether a given material meets the purchaser's specifications.

An assay is performed to determine whether the material has the specified plutonium content.

Determination of the isotopic content of the plutonium in the plutonium-nitrate solution is made to establish whether the effective fissile content is in compliance with the purchaser's specifications.

Impurity content is determined by a variety of methods to ensure that the maximum concentration limit of specified impurities is not exceeded. Determination of impurities is also required for calculation of the equivalent boron content (EBC).

1. Scope

1.1 These test methods cover procedures for the chemical, mass spectrometric, spectrochemical, nuclear, and radiochemical analysis of nuclear-grade plutonium nitrate solutions to determine compliance with specifications.

1.2 The analytical procedures appear in the following order:

Sections
Plutonium by Controlled-Potential Coulometry
Plutonium by Amperometric Titration with Iron(II)
Plutonium by Diode Array Spectrophotometry
Free Acid by Titration in an Oxalate Solution 8 to 15
Free Acid by Iodate Precipitation-Potentiometric Titration
Test Method
16 to 22
Uranium by Arsenazo I Spectrophotometric Test Method 23 to 33
Thorium by Thorin Spectrophotometric Test Method 34 to 42
Iron by 1,10-Phenanthroline Spectrophotometric Test Method 43 to 50
Impurities by ICP-AES
Chloride by Thiocyanate Spectrophotometric Test Method 51 to 58
Fluoride by Distillation-Spectrophotometric Test Method 59 to 66
Sulfate by Barium Sulfate Turbidimetric Test Method 67 to 74
Isotopic Composition by Mass Spectrometry 75 to 76
Plutonium 238 Isotopic Abundance by Alpha Spectrometry
Americium-241 by Extraction and Gamma Counting 77 to 85
Americium-241 by Gamma Counting 86 to 94
Gamma-Emitting Fission Products, Uranium, and Thorium by Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy 94 to 102
Rare Earths by Copper Spark Spectrochemical Test Method 103 to 105
Tungsten, Niobium (Columbium), and Tantalum by Spectro
chemical Test Method
106 to 114
Sample Preparation for Spectrographic Analysis for General
Impurities
115 to 118

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.4 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. For specific safeguard and safety hazard statements, see Section 6.

8.1 This test method covers the determination of free acid in plutonium nitrate solutions (4, 5) .

16.1 This test method covers the determination of free acid in strong acid solutions of plutonium nitrate.

23.1 This test method covers the determination of uranium in the range from 300 to 3000 ? g/g of plutonium in plutonium nitrate solutions.

34.1 This test method covers the determination of 10 to 150 ? g of thorium per gram of plutonium in plutonium nitrate solutions.

43.1 This test method covers the determination of microgram quantities of iron in plutonium nitrate solutions.

51.1 This test method (9) is used to determine chloride in plutonium nitrate solution.

59.1 This test method covers the determination of microquantities of fluoride in plutonium nitrate solutions.

67.1 This test procedure covers the determination of the sulfate concentration in plutonium nitrate solutions in the range from 50 to 700 ? g/g of plutonium.

75.1 This test method covers the determination of the isotopic content of nuclear-grade plutonium nitrate solutions.

77.1 This test method covers the determination of americium-241 in plutonium nitrate solutions.

86.1 This test method covers the determination of americium-241 in plutonium nitrate solutions that do not contain significant amounts of other radioactive fission products or high specific-activity gamma emitters.

95.1 This test method covers the determination of gamma-emitting fission products (for example, 95 Zr- 95 Nb, 103 Ru, 106 Rh, and 137 Cs- 137m Ba) and actinide impurities ( 232 Th, 235 U, and 238 U) in plutonium nitrate. Test portions of plutonium nitrate are prepared to contain from 0.1 to 1.0 g of plutonium. The age of the plutonium after the last separation from actinides must be considered in calculating the actinide contents.

103.1 This test method covers the determination of rare earths in plutonium nitrate solutions in the range from 10 to 200 ? g/g of plutonium.

106.1 This test method covers the determination of tungsten, niobium, and tantalum in plutonium nitrate solutions.

115.1 This test method covers the sample preparation for spectrographic analysis of plutonium nitrate for general metallic impurities by the carrier distillation test method.
