1.1These test methods cover or give reference to procedures for subsampling and for chemical, mass spectrometric, spectrochemical, nuclear, and radiochemical analysis of uranium hexafluoride (UF6). Most of these test methods are in routine use to determine conformance to UF6 specifications in the Enrichment and Conversion Facilities.
1.2The analytical procedures in this document appear in the following order:
Note 1:Subcommittee C26.05 will confer with C26.02 concerning the renumbered section in Test Methods C761 to determine how concerns with renumbering these sections are best addressed in subsequent publications as analytical methods are replaced with stand-alone analytical methods.
