What is ISO 16796 - Gd2O3 content determination with ICP-AES about?
ISO 16796 is an International Standard that discusses nuclear energy.
ISO 16796 is applicable to the determination of gadolinium as Gd2O3 in powder blends and sintered pellets of Gd2O3 + UO2 and ((U, Gd) O2) from mass fraction 10 g/kg to 100 g/kg (i.e. 1 % to 10 %), using a suitable ICP-AES instrument.
Who is ISO 16796 - Gd2O3 content determination with ICP-AES for?
ISO 16796 on Gd2O3 content determination with ICP-AES is useful for:
- Nuclear energy stations
- Atomic energy agencies
- Atomic research organizations
- Nuclear energy electrical systems and equipment manufacturers
- Operators of nuclear energy, systems evaluators, and licensors
- Nuclear safety authorities
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use ISO 16796 - Gd2O3 content determination with ICP-AES?
ICP-AES is a spectral method used to determine very precisely the elemental composition of samples.
This methodology under ISO 16796 is capable of demonstrating compliance with agreed-upon fuel specifications and associated data quality objectives provided the user has performed qualification measurements under their established measurement control program to demonstrate that measurement uncertainty requirement will be met with the desired level of confidence at the specification.
ISO 16796 walks you through the reagents, apparatus, preparation of standards, calibration, analysis of the test samples, and quality control standards with guidance on the precision and accuracy.
ISO 16796 is useful to quantify the elemental concentration with the sample. ISO 16796 guidelines help you to demonstrate the performance, efficiency, reliability, and low cost of operation. ISO 16796 can thus ensure you choose the right ICP-AES instrument instruments in nuclear laboratories.
