Nuclear energy. Determination of total hydrogen content in PuO2 and UO2 powders and UO2, (U,Gd)O2 and (U,Pu)O2 sintered pellets. Inert gas extraction and conductivity detection method. | Status: Current, Under review

1 Scope This International Standard describes a procedure for measuring the total hydrogen content of UO2 and PuO2 powders (up to 2 000 µg/g oxide) and of UO2 and (U,Gd)O2 and (U,Pu)O2 pellets (up to 10 µg/g oxide). The total hydrogen content results from adsorbed water, water of crystallization, hydrocarbon, and other hydrogenated compounds which can exist as impurities in the fuel.
