Nuclear fuel technology. Determination of plutonium content in plutonium dioxide of nuclear grade quality. Gravimetric method Ingestion-build-232773 4 Testing fixtures1 Scope This International Standard specifies a precise and accurate gravimetric method for determining the plutonium content in plutonium dioxide (PuO2) of nuclear grade quality, containing a mass fraction of less than 0,65 % of non volatile impurities. The method is used to cross check accountancy analyses of plutonium dioxide.
