Historical Standard: ASTM C1268-94(2000) Standard Test Method for Quantitative Determination of Americium 241 in Plutonium by Gamma-Ray Spectrometry
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM C1268
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the quantitative determination of americium 241 by gamma-ray spectrometry in plutonium nitrate solution samples that do not contain significant amounts of radioactive fission products or other high specific activity gamma-ray emitters.
1.2 This test method can be used to determine the americium 241 in samples of plutonium metal, oxide and other solid forms, when the solid is appropriately sampled and dissolved.
1.3 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.
