Nuclear energy — Determination of Gd2O3 content of gadolinium fuel pellets by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry

Énergie nucléaire — Dosage de Gd2O3 dans des pastilles combustibles au gadolinium par spectrométrie à fluorescence X

This edition has been replaced by ISO 16795:2024.

Abstract / scope

ISO 16795:2004 covers the determination of Gd₂O₃ in sintered fuel pellets, by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry using the Gd L-alpha line. The fuel pellets are polished before X-ray examination. This method has been tested for mass fractions of from 2 % to 10 % Gd₂O₃.
