BS EN ISO 12183:2024

This standard BS EN ISO 12183:2024 Nuclear fuel technology. Controlled-potential coulometric measurement of plutonium is classified in these ICS categories:

• 27.120.30 Fissile materials and nuclear fuel technology
• 27.120.30 Fissile materials and nuclear fuel technology

This document specifies an analytical method for the electrochemical measurement of pure plutonium nitrate solutions of nuclear grade, with an expanded uncertainty not exceeding ±0,2 % at the confidence level of 0,95 for a single determination (coverage factor, k = 2). The method is applicable for aqueous solutions containing plutonium at more than 0,5 g/l and test samples containing plutonium between 4 mg and 15 mg. Application of this technique to solutions containing plutonium at less than 0,5 g/l and test samples containing plutonium at less than 4 mg requires experimental demonstration by the user that applicable data quality objectives will be met.
