Annotation of standard text ASTM C787-20 :

This specification covers uranium hexafluoride intended for feeding to an enrichment plant. Plants preparing uranium hexafluoride will have to control the purity of process chemicals and also employ low corrosion equipment to be successful in meeting the specifications for most impurities. Chemical and isotopic analysis of the material shall conform to the requirements prescribed.

Keywords:

low enriched uranium, natural uranium, nuclear fuel, reprocessed uranium, uranium enrichment, uranium hexafluoride,, ICS Number Code 27.120.30 (Fissile materials and nuclear fuel technology)
