ASTM C776-2006 Standard Specification for Sintered Uranium Dioxide Pellets《烧结的二氧化铀丸标准规范》.pdf

1、Designation: C 776 06Standard Specification forSintered Uranium Dioxide Pellets1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 776; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in paren

2、theses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis specification is intended to provide the nuclear industry with a general specification foruranium dioxide pellets. It recognizes the diversity o

3、f manufacturing methods by which uraniumdioxide pellets are produced and the many special requirements for chemical and physicalcharacterization which may be imposed by the operating conditions to which the pellets will besubjected in specific reactor systems. Therefore, it is anticipated that the p

4、urchaser may supplementthis specification with additional requirements for specific applications.1. Scope1.1 This specification is for finished sintered uranium diox-ide pellets. It applies to uranium dioxide pellets containinguranium of any235U concentration for use in nuclear reactors.1.2 This spe

5、cification recognizes the presence of repro-cessed uranium in the fuel cycle and consequently definesisotopic limits for uranium dioxide pellets made from commer-cial grade UO2. Such commercial grade UO2is defined so that,regarding fuel design and manufacture, the product is essen-tially equivalent

6、to that made from unirradiated uranium. UO2falling outside these limits cannot necessarily be regarded asequivalent and may thus need special provisions at the fuelfabrication plant or in the fuel design.1.3 This specification does not include (a) provisions forpreventing criticality accidents or (b

7、) requirements for healthand safety. Observance of this specification does not relieve theuser of the obligation to be aware of and conform to all federal,state, and local regulations pertaining to possessing, shipping,processing, or using source or special nuclear material. Ex-amples of U.S. Govern

8、ment documents are Code of FederalRegulations (Latest Edition), Title 10, Part 50, Title 10, Part 71,and Title 49, Part 173.1.4 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetechnical requirements portion, Section 4, of this specification:This standard does not purport to address all of the

9、 safetyconcerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety andhealth practices and determine the applicability or regulatorylimitations prior to use.2.
