The wide range of irradiation levels, cooling times,reprocessing, conversion, and enrichment processes, and fuelcycle choices for combination with unirradiated UF6, togetherwith

24、such as toobtain a liquid sample or withdraw the contents.4.2.1 If the temperature differs from 20C or 35C, atemperature correction must be performed which takes thechange in vapor pressure of UF6into account. For example, anacceptable correction would be that the pressure must remainbelow PUF6(T) +

Ifthe236U measurement result is greater than 250 g/gU, thenmeasurement of232U and notification of results before ship-ment are required.5.5.4 The buy

43、er and seller may agree to waive the require-ment to measure99Tc, provided that adequate capability tomeet the99Tc limit for Enriched Commercial grade UF6can bedemonstrated through quality assurance records. Such recordsshall include the results of the sellers periodic measurementsof99Tc in the UF6.

44、NOTE 1Enrichment of Reprocessed UF6feed material at the limit ofSpecification C787 could be expected to reach these limits. Defining theselimits does not imply that any fuel fabrication plant designed for EnrichedCommercial Grade UF6could handle Enriched Reprocessed UF6withoutdilution with Enriched

45、Commercial Grade UF6and other special precau-tions. With respect to the variability of Reprocessed UF6from various fuelhistories and the demands that would be placed on the fuel fabricators andusers, it could be necessary for the seller and buyer to agree on lowerlimits after enrichment than implied

46、 by Specification C787 feed limits.NOTE 2A234U content greater than 10.0 103g/g235U shall requireagreement in advance between the parties (for example, supplier, receiver)to accept the material. It is recognized that some applications may notallow for the limit in the table due to licensing, regulat

Relevant sample procedures are given in Prac-tice C1052, USEC Report USEC-651, and DOE Report ORO-671-1.6.2 Alternatively, i

48、f the cylinder is filled in the gas phase, arepresentative sample may be taken during the transfer accord-ing to Practice C1703. It will have to be demonstrated that Gassampling is equivalent to Liquid sampling as representative ofthe bulk material in cylinder. Otherwise, the use of thisalternative

49、technique should be agreed between buyer andseller.6.3 All samples shall be clearly identified including thesellers lot number. It shall be stated whether samples havebeen taken in liquid or gas phase and whether they have beentaken during or after filling.6.4 All containers used for a lot shall be positively identifiedas containing material from a particular homogeneous lot.7.
