This document specifies an analytical method for determining the neptunium concentration by spectrophotometry, with spectrophotometer implemented in hot cell or glove box allowing the analysis of high activity solutions, with a standard uncertainty, with coverage factor k = 1 of about 5 %, in nitric acid solutions after the dissolution of nuclear reactor irradiated fuels, at different steps of the process in a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant or in other nuclear facilities. The method is applicable to sample from the process containing a concentration of neptunium between 10 mg·l-1 and 400 mg·l-1 and uranium concentrations of up to 300 g·l-1.

 

This document applies to the testing of surfaces that may become contaminated by radioactive materials. The ease of decontamination is a property of a surface and an important criterion for selecting surface materials used in the nuclear industry, interim storage or disposal facilities from which contamination can be removed easily and rapidly without damaging the surface. The test described in this document is a rapid laboratory-based method to compare the ease of decontamination of different surface materials. The results from the test can be one parameter to take into account when selecting surface coatings such as varnish or impervious layers such as ceramics and other surfaces. The radionuclides used in this test are those commonly found in the nuclear industry (137Cs, 134Cs and 60Co) in aqueous form. The test can also be adopted for use with other radionuclides and other chemical forms, depending on the customer requirements, if the solutions are chemically stable and do not corrode the test specimen. The test does not measure the ease of decontamination of the surface materials in practical use, as this depends on the radionuclide(s) present, their chemical form, the duration of exposure to the contaminant and the environmental conditions amongst other factors. The test method is not intended to describe general decontamination procedures or to assess the efficiency of decontamination procedures (see ISO 7503-1 to ISO 7503-3). The test method is not suitable for use of radiochemicals if the radionuclide emits low energy gamma rays or beta particles that are readily attenuated in the surface.

 

This document describes an analytical method for the determination of uranium in samples from pure product materials such as U metal, UO2, UO3, uranyl nitrate hexahydrate, uranium hexafluoride and U3O8 from the nuclear fuel cycle. This procedure is sufficiently accurate and precise to be used for nuclear materials accountability. This method can be used directly for the analysis of most uranium and uranium oxide nuclear reactor fuels, either irradiated or un-irradiated, and of uranium nitrate product solutions. Fission products equivalent to up to 10 % burn-up of heavy atoms do not interfere, and other elements which could cause interference are not normally present in sufficient quantity to affect the result significantly. The method recommends that an aliquot of sample is weighed and that a mass titration is used, in order to obtain improved precision and accuracy. This does not preclude the use of alternative techniques which could give equivalent performance. The use of automatic device(s) in the performance of some critical steps of the method has some advantages, mainly in the case of routine analysis.

This document specifies safety requirements for hand-held non-electric power tools intended for installation of a fastener, (hereinafter referred to as “fastener driving tools”) forming a mechanical connection or attachment with the workpiece. This document is applicable to fastener driving tools that are powered by compressed air or combustible gases (which may be ignited by a battery or accumulator) and where the energy is transmitted to an impacted element by an intermediary component that does not leave the device. NOTE These fastener driving tools are intended to be used by one operator and supported by the operator's hand or hands, with or without a suspension, e.g. a balancer. This document is applicable to fastener driving tools in which energy is applied to a loaded fastener for the purpose of driving this into a workpiece. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant to fastener driving tools for fasteners when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer, with the exception of the use of power tools in potentially explosive atmospheres. This document is not applicable to fastener driving tools in which the energy for driving fasteners is drawn from powder-actuated cartridges, hydraulics or from any type of electrical supply. This document does not deal with special requirements and modifications of hand-held power tools for the purpose of mounting them in a fixture.

This document, to be used together with ISO 4254-1, specifies the safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of mounted, semi-mounted, trailed and self-propelled agricultural sprayers for use with plant protection products (PPP) and liquid fertilizer application, as placed on the market by the manufacturer and designed for a single operator only. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices (including residual risks) to be provided by the manufacturer. When requirements of this document are different from those which are stated in ISO 4254-1, the requirements of this document take precedence over the requirements of ISO 4254-1 for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this document. This document, taken together with ISO 4254-1, deals with significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to sprayers and liquid fertilizer distributors when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex A), excepting the hazards arising from: — protection of the driver against spray when spraying (see Foreword); — automatically actuated height adjustment systems; — the environment, other than noise; — moving parts for power transmission except strength requirements for guards and barriers. This document is not applicable to sprayers and liquid fertilizer distributors which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document.

 

This document specifies requirements and recommendations for measuring the composition of CO2 streams during post capture pipeline transportation. The primary objective of this document is to establish standardized technical requirements and recommendations necessary for implementing regulations, commercial contracts, inventory ownership and fiscal transactions within the framework of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). This document includes measurements up to the storage injection points but does not cover Measurement, Monitoring, and Verification (MMV) once the CO2 has entered the geological storage complex. The differentiation between biogenic and non-biogenic CO2 in a CO2 stream is recognized as highly relevant for accounting purposes. However, the measurement methodologies for the biogenic CO2 fraction fall outside the scope of this document, which covers post-capture pipeline transportation. This document is not intended to differentiate between biogenic CO2 and CO2 produced from non-biogenic sources.
