Methods of determination of oxygen to uranium ratios in uranium dioxide

摘要

Methods used for the determination of oxygen to uranium ratios has been collected and discussed. These methods are destructive and non destructive. The experimental procedures are written in form of manuals to help their easy use in nuclear fuel quality control laboratories. It is of special importance in nuclear fuel laboratories of the nuclear metallurgy department of ARE-AEA in connection with the R&D fuel programme conceived within the scope or German - Egyptian cooperation between the Jülich Nuclear Research Centre and the Nuclear Research Centre at Inchas, AEA - Egypt. The accuracy and place of use of each method has been tabulated.
