Standard Test Method for Radiochemical Determination of Uranium Isotopes in Soil by Alpha Spectrometry
standard by ASTM International, 08/10/2000

Document Format: PDF

Description

1.1 This test method covers the determination of uranium isotopes in soil.

1.2 The test method is designed to analyze 10 g of soil; however, the sample size may be varied to 50 g depending on the activity level. This test method may not be able to completely dissolve all forms of uranium in the soil matrix.

1.3 The lower limit of detection is dependent on count time, sample size, detector efficiency, background, and tracer yield. The chemical recovery averaged 78% in a single laboratory evaluation, and 66% in an interlaboratory collaborative study.

1.4 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. A specific precautionary statement is given in Section 10.
