1.1 This practice covers methods for withdrawing representative sample(s) of uranium hexafluoride (UF6) during a transfer occurring in the gas phase. Such transfer in the gas phase can take place from a mother cylinder, for example in an autoclave to a receiving cylinder. It can also occur during the filling in the gas phase of a cylinder during a continuous production process, for example centrifuge enrichment facility or the distillation column in a conversion facility. Such sample(s) may be used for determining compliance with the applicable commercial specification, for example Specification C996 or Specification C787.
1.2 Since 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).
1.3 If the receiving cylinder is purged after filling and sampling, special verifications must be performed by the user to verify the representativity of the sample(s). It is then expected that the results found on volatile impurities with gas phase sampling may be conservative.
1.4 This 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. This practice does not apply to gas sampling after the cylinder has been filled since the sample taken will not be representative of the cylinder.
1.5 The scope of this practice does not include provisions for preventing criticality incidents.
1.6 This 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
