1.1This practice covers the methods for withdrawing samples of enriched uranium hexafluoride (UF6) during and after a transfer occurring in the gas phase in order to determine compliance with Specification C996. It is applicable to the filling of a transport UF6 container (30B cylinder or 1 m3 vertical container) at a centrifuge enrichment facility that has been fed with UF6 that complies with Specification C787.

1.2Since UF6 sampling is taken during the filling process, this practice does not address any special additional arrangements that may be agreed upon between the buyer and the seller when the sampled bulk material is being added to residues already present in a container (“heels recycle”). Such arrangements will be based on QA procedures such as traceability of cylinder origin (to prevent, for example, contamination with irradiated material).

1.3This practice is only applicable when the transfer occurs in the gas phase. When the transfer is performed in the liquid phase, Practice C1052 should apply.

1.4The scope of this practice does not include provisions for preventing criticality incidents.

1.5The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.6This 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.7This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
