Standard Test Method for The Determination of the Oxygen to Metal (O/M) Ratio in Sintered Mixed Oxide ((U, Pu)O2) Pellets by Gravimetry

Importancia y uso:

5.1 MOX is used as a nuclear-reactor fuel. This test method is designed to determine whether the O/M ratio meets the requirements of the fuel specification. Examples for establishing a fuel specification are given in Specification C833.

5.2 This method is suitable for all sintered MOX pellets containing up to 12 weight % PuO₂ when the UO₂ and PuO₂ meet the requirements of Specifications C753 and C757.
