SURVEY OF URANIUM ASSAY TECHNIQUES AND MEASUREMENT CONTROL AT THE NEW BRUNSWICK LABORATORY

A survey of the uranium assay techniques and a brief description of measurement control at the New Brunswick Laboratory (NBL) are provided. Types of materials analyzed are listed and typical sample handling techniques are described which are used to convert samples to solution forms which are amenable to analysis by the NBL Titrimetric Method. The program in use at the New Brunswick Laboratory to assure adequate reliability of uranium measurements based on titrimetry is described.
