ASTM C 787:2020

1.1 This specification covers uranium hexafluoride (UF 6 ) intended for feeding to an enrichment plant. Included are specifications for UF 6 derived from unirradiated natural uranium and UF 6 derived from irradiated uranium that has been reprocessed and converted to UF 6 for enrichment and subsequent reuse. The objectives of this specification are twofold: ( 1 ) to define the impurity and uranium isotope limits for Commercial Natural UF 6 feedstock, and ( 2 ) to define additional limits for Reprocessed UF 6 (or any mixture of Reprocessed UF 6 and Commercial Natural UF 6 ). For such UF 6 , special provisions may be needed to ensure that no extra hazard arises to the work force, process equipment, or the environment. 1.2 The scope of this specification does not comprehensively cover all provisions for preventing criticality accidents or requirements for health and safety or for shipping. Observance of this specification does not relieve the user of the obligation to conform to all international, federal, state, and local regulations for processing, shipping, or in any other way using UF 6 (for example, see TID-7016, DP-532, ORNL-NUREG-CSD-6, and DOE O 474.1). 1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
