This test method covers the sample preparation and analysis by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) of sulfur in uranium oxides and uranyl nitrate solutions.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C26 on Nuclear Fuel Cycle, this test method was withdrawn in June 2007 due to lack of use in the industry.

1.1 This test method covers the sample preparation and analysis by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) of sulfur in uranium oxides and uranyl nitrate solutions.

1.2 This test method is valid for those solutions containing 100 to 500 g sulfur/mL. Higher concentrations may be measured by appropriate dilutions.
